Time Data from Drills for the Uncertainty in Egress Models Project

In collaboration with Arup and the NFPA, time data from five evacuation drills will be used to test two egress models, EXIT 89 and STEPS. This project is aimed at a better understanding of the uncertainty and limitations of egress models and improving the predictive capabilities of such models.
