Building blocks for large-scale evacuation simulations

Abstract Effective evacuation planning is a complex challenge that aims to save lives, reduce travel time, and ensure the provision of essential care to vulnerable individuals. Evacuation simulation models are vital tools for evaluating different scenarios, identifying potential bottlenecks, and optimising strategies for large-scale evacuations. This report contains original and...

Energy consumption (and cost) in VPSL

When embarking upon enabling a dual-use environment (i.e. the Virtual Production Studio Lab) one of the points was that technology that we at BTH would use in our Mechanical Engineering research and education could be used for other purposes and find increased value. Here gaming industry and movie industry were targeted, where...
