ABSTRACT
The students emergency process from a canteen is simulated by a modified cellular automata model through considering students emergency behavior characteristics and the restricted sight. The different movement rules in dead zone and visible zone are adopted. The simulation results show that under the normal evacuation, it is beneficial if the side doors are relatively far away from the main entrance. The evacuation time decrease with the decrease of the total number of students. In addition, under restricted sight, evacuation signs can significantly improve evacuation efficiency.
