Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “Fire Risk Assessment and Emergency Evacuation” aims to advance the understanding and application of strategies, technologies, and methodologies that enhance fire safety and optimize emergency evacuation processes. This Special Issue will explore a wide range of topics, including fire risk assessment, evacuation modeling, innovative suppression systems, human behavior in fires, evacuation modeling, fire safety strategies, the design of fire-safe buildings, etc. It seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to address emerging fire safety and emergency responses. We invite original research, reviews, and case studies that contribute to developing safer environments and effective evacuation systems.
Prof. Dr. Guan-Yuan Wu
Guest Editor
