The study aims to develop a modified social force model to better simulate evacuation dynamics during fire threats.
Developed a modified social force model incorporating stress levels caused by fire exposure.
Considered non-homogeneity of occupants' characteristics and physical abilities.
Simulated evacuation scenarios to evaluate movement trajectories and escape behavior.
The model provided more realistic movement trajectories, avoiding proximity to fire sources.
Analysis showed significant impacts of fire location and exit width on evacuation performance.
