Abstract

Understanding how people behave in emergency situations within maritime settings is vital if we are to design evacuation efficient vessels and evacuation procedures for crew to follow. An essential component of this understanding is the collection and characterisation of data for human performance when responding to alarms and moving to assembly stations. Unfortunately, little data exists relating to passenger response time or for full-scale validation of evacuatino models specific to maritime environments. As part of the EU FP7 project SAFEGUARD, a series of five semi-unannounces full-scale assemblies were conducted at sea on three different types of passenger vessel. From these trials two full-scale validation data-sets and five passenger response time data-sets were collected. The five response time data-sets, consisting of 2366 response time data points, represents the largest response time data-sets ever collected - on land or sea. One of the objectives of the SAFEGUARD project was to develop a series of passenger response time distributions that can be used in passenger ship evacuation analysis. Response time is defined as the time between the sounding of the alarm and the moment when passengers start purposeful movement to an assembly station.
