Aamks: The platform for assessing fire safety of humans in buildings

Abstract

We introduce an open-source software for fire risk assessment named Aamks. We provide a brief overview of the following aspects of the platform: the motivation for creating Aamks, the architecture of the platform, the user interface, the intended workflow for conducting fire safety analyses, the probabilistic approach to fire risk assessment, the geometry processing, the reasoning from the topology of the building (i.e. automatic planning of exit routes), the interactions amongst the moving evacuees, the impact of smoke on humans and finally the results and the visualization.
