Abstract: Abstract Multi-agent simulation is an important method to study fire evacuation. The present study developed a multi-agent simulation system for fire evacuation. This system adopted a new-proposed EID (External stimuli-Internal status-Decision making) behavior model, emphasizing the influence of psychological stress to people’s escape behavior. Some simulation trials were conducted to compare the difference between simulation without and with psychological stress. It was shown that when the influence of psychological stress was not considered, the simulation results tended to be more “optimistic”, in terms of number of escaped people and average escape time.
