*****UC-win/Road for EXODUS*****
EXODUS is evacuation analysis simulation software developed by
Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEF), English Greenwich University.
It is designed to meet the checking performance on the basis of safety
criteria, and allows you to analyze the human behavior of large number
of
people in a complex building as well as the interaction such as
"human vs. human", "human vs. structure", and "human
vs. fire".
UC-win/Road Ver.3.03.08 offers EXODUS plug-in option. It displays simulated
results of EXODUS.
