Abstract: Abstract The improvement of safety at mass events has become an important issue not only due to several disasters involving large crowds. To support security services in case of emergencies we have developed an evacuation assistant which allows forecasting the emergency egress of large crowds in complex buildings. Such a forecast requires pedestrian models which produce realistic crowd dynamics and, at the same time, can be simulated faster than real-time. Here we give an overview of the project and present first results.
