| Abstract |
Existing efforts to reduce total egress time actually focused on reducing travel time. However, consideration to reduce perception time or response time was insufficient although the ratio of travel time is one-third of total egress time and situations which the safety cannot be ensured by only reducing travel time were aroused. Therefore, the concept of disaster information, which could reduce both perception time and response time got attention To analyze the effect of disaster information on occupant behaviour, this study identified a relationship between 10 major disaster information and 3 occupant behaviour factors in terms of reducing egress time. By referring the relationship, this study conducted an virtual egress experiment with survey on 4 cases, the elderly, intellectual disabled, hearing disabled and visual disabled, to identify disaster information which reduce total egress time effectively. Finally, by analyzing the experiment result, this study proposed the process of disaster information effect on occupant behaviour as complementing insufficient occupant behaviour to ensure the minimum level of safety and maximizing relatively high occupant behaviour to ensure enough level of safety. The results are expected to account for relationship between disaster information and occupant behaviour with more explanatory power in terms of egress time. With further studies of disaster information and group behaviour, these series of studies could provide basic references for disaster information and occupant behaviour. |
