Find the best solution for your workplace -
cost-effective, yet safe.
Fire protection requirements and workplace regulations do not always coincide and must be harmonised, especially in existing buildings. The health and safety of employees is a top priority, but the measures must be structurally and technically feasible on the one hand and economically viable on the other. In making decisions in this area of conflict, evacuation simulations with reliable key figures help.
Check for safety
Test different alarming concepts

“The expert opinion gave us peace of mind and, above all, saved us a lot of money. We had the results within a few days.”
„Ich arbeite bereits seit Jahren mit crowd:it, um Sicherheitskonzepte zu erstellen. Meine Kunden und ich sind von den Visualisierungen und der Qualität der Ergebnisse begeistert!“

Background
Ventilation analysis din-visionLAB Vienna
Client: din-Dietmar Nocker Sicherheitstechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Task: Evacuation simulation
Result: Evacuation takes up to twice as long with simple emergency lighting
Visitor flow analysis at Munich Airport
Client: Munich Airport
Task: Evacuation simulation
Result: The evacuation concept was reviewed and optimized
Evacuation simulation of a lecture hall at Großhadern Hospital
Client: Munich State Building Authority 2, CAD Office Bavaria
Task: Evacuation simulation
Result: The variant that complied with building regulations did not lead to an improvement in the overall evacuation time
We continuously compare data from controlled experiments and real-life experiments with the simulation results from crowd:it. Here, we accompanied an evacuation drill and then simulated it with crowd:it—with less than 5% deviation from the evacuation time. To further develop our staircase model, we conducted both real and controlled experiments in collaboration with Munich University of Applied Sciences, and then used the results for validation.
Comparison of simulation results with other calculation methods
In order to compare the results of crowd:it against macroscopic simulation methods, we considered th capacity analyses and hydraulic methods of Predteschenski & Milinski.
The evacuation times of a three-storey office building with a 1.20 m wide staircase and simple floor plan is shown in the following diagram:
crowd:it lies between the respective procedures and unlike macroscopic procedures, crowd:it achieves exact results with low agent numbers.
