Understanding human evacuation behaviour in building emergencies in-depth in aspects of is of great significance to simulate crowd evacuation, to optimize building design, to effectively intevene evacuation and effectively conduct fire evacuation training. However, human evacuation behavior has high complexity. Prior research focused on the crowd evacuation behavior, but lacked of the in-depth analysis of individual evacuation behavior. Based on the cognitive and behavioral theories related to human crisis response, this research developed a theoretical model of individual evacuation wayfinding behavior in the context of building emergencies. Based on the virtual evacuation behavior experiment platform developed by the research team, a series of evacuation behavior experiments were carried out. The collected data was quantitatively analyzed for quantifying and verifying the theoretical model. The research aims to understand the individual evacuation behavior mechanism, so as to provide scientific basis and decision support for building emergency management.
