Trains
Trains are transportation means in which high occupant loads are combined with small available spaces. This unique condition leads the safety designers to analyse carefully the evacuation process, taking into account the difficulties for the evacuees to reach the exits.
The use of evacuation models permits to identify the best evacuation strategies in the case of different scenarios.

The following sample video shows an evacuation scenario of a High-Speed Train (using the FDS+Evac model) in which fire outputs are calculated using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) of the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST).
The following sample video shows an evacuation scenario of an High-Speed Train (using the PathFinder model) in the evacuation process is simulated.
