EXODUS CAPABILITIES

EXODUS is a suite of software tools designed to simulate evacuation of large numbers of people from a variety of enclosure types and circulation/pedestrian dynamics in complex environments. The family of models currently consists of  buildingEXODUS for applications in the built environment, airEXODUS for aviation applications and  maritimeEXODUS for marine applications. A Rail specific version of the software is currently being development under sponsorship of the US Federal Rail Administration. In addition, vrEXODUS can be used to view EXODUS generated evacuations in 3D.

The airEXODUS software is designed for applications in the aviation industry including, aircraft design, compliance with evacuation certification requirements, crew training, development of crew procedures, resolution of operational issues and accident investigation.   While airEXODUS is not currently avialable for purchase, FSEG provide consultative services using airEXODUS.  The software has been used on projects for virtually all of the major aircraft manufacturers and several airlines.

The railEXODUS model is currently under development with sponsorship from the US Federal Rail Administration.  While the buildingEXODUS software is used for rail stations including the modelling of trains in stations, the railEXODUS software is specifically being designed to simulate evacuation from rail rolling stock and possess rail specific human performance data.

The vrEXODUS software is a graphics post-processor that can be used in conjunction with all EXODUS products.  vrEXODUS creates animated three dimensional representations of EXODUS generated simulations. The vrEXODUS software utilises the VRT software and requires the web browser plug-in VISCAPE. VRT and VISCAPE are trademarks of Superscape VR plc.
