Disabilities/slow occupant groups – Yes, the user can input a percentage to be used from the<br />
default unimpeded walking speed.<br />
Delays/pre-movement time – Yes, both response delays and decision making delays are<br />
simulated.<br />
Toxicity <strong>of</strong> the occupants – Yes, but infrequently used.<br />
Route choice <strong>of</strong> the occupants/occupant distribution – Shortest route, which can be altered due to<br />
behavioral aspects <strong>of</strong> the evacuation.<br />
Limitations: The model developers state that there are few practical limits on the size <strong>of</strong> the<br />
simulations because the model can handle several thousand occupants and plan areas <strong>of</strong> many<br />
km 2 .<br />
