<description>The time required for the evacuation of the occupants of buses and coaches, that is, Large-&#xd;
Dimension Passenger Transport Vehicles (V.G.D.T.P.) is a fundamental safety parameter&#xd;
for these vehicles. Starting from the fact that they are a mode of transport with very high&#xd;
levels of security, when events with collision and subsequent fire occur, or in cases of fire&#xd;
exclusively, it is when these events generate injuries or even deaths. Additionally, part of&#xd;
the UN CEPE regulations that affect these vehicles (e.g. R107) are defined in such a way&#xd;
as to reduce this evacuation time. Others, R118, are aimed at reducing the severity of the&#xd;
fire and, therefore, increasing the time available before suffering serious consequences.&#xd;
Therefore, the need to know which are the fundamental aspects that can improve these two&#xd;
time intervals, evacuation and available, is concluded.&#xd;
In the present work, a coach is modelled, and simulated by means of an agent-based model,&#xd;
both the boarding process, and the disembarkation or evacuation process. Some relevant&#xd;
characteristics of the model are that it allows to analyse the influence of the mobility of&#xd;
each agent (occupant) as well as that of the vehicle's configuration. Among others, some of&#xd;
the characteristics of the occupants are their average speed of movement and associated&#xd;
with a probability function, their size, the probability of using emergency exits (e.g.&#xd;
jumping through an emergency window), etc. Regarding the vehicle, the fundamental&#xd;
aspects contemplated in the model are those relating to accessibility to the interior of the&#xd;
vehicle and, once inside it in the corridors, access to the seats. Among other parameters,&#xd;
the width of the gangway, the distances between seats, the characteristics of the entrances,&#xd;
stairs, etc.&#xd;
The model is used to analyse the influence of the variability of each of the occupant and&#xd;
vehicle parameters described, and the probabilities of complete and partial evacuation&#xd;
times are deduced. Based on these results, it is concluded that the exits locations, and the&#xd;
age (mobility) of the passengers are the main parameters influencing the probability of a&#xd;
high evacuation time.</description>
