Abstract: Abstract An evacuation model data set collected as part of the EU FP7 project SAFEGUARD is presented. The data was collected from a RO-PAX ferry operated by ColorLine AS called SuperSpeed 1 during a semi-unannounced assembly at sea involving 1,349 passengers. The trial took place at an unspecified time however, passengers were aware that on their voyage an assembly exercise would take place. The validation data set consists of passenger; response times, starting locations, routes taken and arrival times in the assembly stations. The validation data was collected using a novel data acquisition system consisting of ship-mounted beacons, each emitting unique Infra-Red (IR) signals and data logging tags worn by each passenger. The results from blind simulations using maritimeEXODUS for this assembly exercise are presented and compared with the measured data. Three objective measures are proposed to assess the goodness of fit between the predicted model data and the measured data.
