Pathfinder is a new evacuation simulator. Unlike flow-based or
cell-based models, Pathfinder uses techniques from current
computer science research to model the movement of individuals,
building on technology used in the gaming and computer graphics
industries.
Pathfinder provides the tools necessary to make confident
decisions regarding building layout and fire protection system
design. Multiple simulation modes and customizable occupant
properties let you easily explore different scenarios, allowing
calculation of conservative and optimistic bounds on expected
evacuation times.
Pathfinder is an agent-based simulator -- each occupant uses a
set of individual parameters and makes decisions independently
throughout the course of the simulation.
In addition to an advanced pedestrian movement simulator,
Pathfinder includes an integrated user interface and 3D results
visualization. Pathfinder allows you to evaluate evacuation
models more quickly and produce more realistic graphics than
with other simulators.
