    Abstract

    In this situation, it is necessary to establish and manage a SIP (Shelter In Place) by utilizing existing facilities rather than increasing the number of evacuation facilities. These facilities can be used for their general purposes and used as a SIP during emergencies. This study uses BIM software to model a light rail station and examine the elements of the facility that can affect the evacuation time to reach SIP. The purpose is to understand how structural standards affect the design of SIP using direct simulation. The study compares how domestic standards differ from overseas standards and validate whether the national standards are satisfactory. Since the proposed procedure is based on rational human behavior analysis through direct simulation, it is expected to be a safer and faster mode of evacuation in case of CBRE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Explosive attacks) situations if applied to existing infrastructure.
