Abstract

Abstract: In order to analyze the fire evacuation efficiency of vertical ship lift, the influence of population characteristics on evacuation is analyzed quantitatively from three aspects, such as age structure, population density and flow velocity. According to the emergency evacuation path of vertical ship lift, the three-stage evacuation time is divided into three parts. In order to obtain fire evacuation time, the model of vertical ship lift with the passenger ship is established and parameters of evacuation time are set up by using the simulation technology. The actual case of the Three Gorges ship lift shows:1) the evacuation time of vertical ship lift is much larger than that of the passenger ship; 2) when people complete evacuation through left side of carrying vessel, the flow velocity of No.3 evacuation passage is faster than that of No.2; 3) when people complete evacuation through two side of carrying vessel, the flow velocity of No.3 and No.4 evacuation passage is faster than that of No.1 and No.2.
