Abstract: Abstract This paper illustrates a systematic approach for evacuation simulations and the comparison of the results to real world data for calibration and validation. An evacuation exercise in a venue of the trade fair Graz is presented. The results show that the reaction time of the evacuees is decisive for the overall evacuation duration. Additionally an evacuation analysis of the situation is presented. The simulation parameters were adapted to represent the circumstances of the exercise. The results of the exercise and the simulation are comparable.
