6.1 The assumptions made for the simulation should
be stated. Assumptions that contain simplifications above those in
paragraph 3.2 of the Guidelines for the advanced evacuation analysis
of new and existing passenger ships, should not be made.
6.2 The documentation of the algorithms should
contain:
-
.1 the variables used in the model to describe
the dynamics, e.g., walking speed and direction of each person;
-
.2 the functional relation between the parameters
and the variables;
-
.3 the type of update, e.g., the order in which
the persons move during the simulation (parallel, random sequential,
ordered sequential or other);
-
.4 the representation of stairs, doors, assembly
stations, embarkation stations, and other special geometrical elements
and their influence on the variables during the simulation (if there
is any) and the respective parameters quantifying this influence;
and
-
.5 a detailed user guide/manual specifying the
nature of the model and its assumptions and guidelines for the correct
use of the model and interpretations of results should be readily
available.
6.3 The results of the analysis should be documented
by means of:
-
.1 details of the calculations;
-
.2 the total evacuation time; and
-
.3 the identified congestion points.
