Abstract: Abstract In this article, an evacuation model describing the egress in case of danger is considered. The underlying evacuation model is based on continuous network flows, while the spread of some gaseous hazardous material relies on an advection–diffusion equation. A proof of concept shows differences to the usually used macroscopic evacuation models.
