The goal of this research project is to develop performance based fire design (PBFD) guidance for the Canadian consultancy practitioner to allow for the understanding of human behaviour and the role it has on the design of infrastructure. Human behaviour is a complex subject due to varied demographics and the uncertainties that they present. However, using pedestrian behaviour modelling techniques, these uncertainties can be reduced and incorporated in the design of infrastructure. This Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) project will be a collaboration between ARUP Canada and York University. ARUP Canada is a reputable organization which supports research of pedestrian behaviour modelling through the development of its pedestrian modelling software MassMotion. MassMotion is a software that is being developed to generate alternative solutions to traditional design that can incorporate complex human behaviour with reduced uncertainties. This research project looks at three types of infrastructure: stadiums, museums and retirement and long term care homes. Human behaviour data has been obtained for each infrastructure and this data will be quantified for use in the MassMotion software in order to develop its capabilities of modelling human behaviour with reduced uncertainty, particularly the interactions between staff and building occupants as seen in these structure types. The overarching objectives of the project are to include: (1) exploring issues with pedestrian movement modelling softwares that are currently available such as MassMotion; (2) assessing the designs of three types of common infrastructure which will house diverse populations dependent on staff interaction (care homes, museums, stadiums); (3) developing, validating and verifying MassMotion software for use in emergency evacuation and day-to-day normal ingress and egress operational scenarios; and (4) helping establish input for an appropriate framework for PBFD for consideration into future National Building Code of Canada editions and other North American codes and standards.

该研究项目的目的是为加拿大咨询业从业人员开发基于绩效的火灾设计（PBFD）指南，以允许理解人类行为及其在基础设施设计中的作用。人类行为是一个复杂的主题，这是由于人口统计学的不同及其所呈现的不确定性。但是，使用行人行为建模技术，可以将这些不确定性降低并纳入基础架构的设计中。这个合作研究与发展（CRD）项目将是加拿大阿鲁普大学和约克大学之间的合作。 Arup Canada是一个著名的组织，通过开发行人建模软件大规模来支持对行人行为建模的研究。 MassMotion是一种正在开发的软件，该软件正在为传统设计生成替代解决方案，可以将复杂的人类行为与不确定性减少结合在一起。该研究项目着眼于三种类型的基础设施：体育场，博物馆和退休和长期护理院。已经为每个基础架构获得了人类行为数据，该数据将被量化用于大众软件中，以开发其对人类行为进行建模的能力，其不确定性降低，尤其是员工与建筑乘员之间的相互作用，如这些结构类型所示。该项目的总体目标是包括：（1）探索行人运动对当前可用的软件（例如大众）的问题； （2）评估三种类型的常见基础设施的设计，这些基础设施将容纳依赖于员工互动的各种人群（护理馆，博物馆，体育场）； （3）开发，验证和验证用于紧急撤离以及日常正常入口和出口操作场景的大众群体软件； （4）帮助为PBFD建立适当框架的投入，以考虑到加拿大未来的国家建筑法规以及其他北美法规和标准。
