The EXODUS suite of software represents a computer based laboratory for
evaluating emergency and non-emergency movement and behaviour of people
in aircraft, buildings and ships. EXODUS simulates people-people, people-fire
and people-structure interactions. It tracks the path of each individual
as they make their way out of the enclosure, or are overcome by fire hazards
such as heat, smoke and toxic gases. EXODUS allows a cost effective way
to achieving safer and more functional designs, allowing designers and
regulators to seek answers to questions that cannot be addressed using
conventional approaches. EXODUS enables difficult planning issues to be
assessed in order to find the ideal design solution.
