A joint research project was undertaken by the National Research Council of Canada and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to study evacuation drills in midrise apartment buildings with mixed abilities occupants. The study collected real data on time and movement during evacuation drills in four buildings. Video cameras, located in hallways and stairwells, recorded the movement of occupants. A series of statistical analyses was conducted on the data gathered. The time to start the evacuation, to move to safety and to totally evacuate the building were studied. Analysis of variance is used to compare buildings and to assess the impact of gender, age, and physical limitation. The speed of movement on stairs is also analyzed. Results show ...
