Evacuation models generally tend to make over-simplifications in the representation of human behaviour in fire due to the difficulties to capture its complexity. This work shows how discrete choice model approaches allow overcoming this issue. A desc... Read More about The need for latent variables for modelling decision-making in evacuation simulations.
