Research On Passenger Flow Path Design Of Cruise Ship Based On Environmental Psychology And Safe Evacuation

With the improvement of people’s living standards,the number of tourists who choose cruise vacations has gradually increased,and the growth of the cruise tourism economy has driven the development of cruise ship manufacturing in China.However,China does not yet have the ability to independently design large luxury cruise ships.Currently,in order to solve this problem and develop localized cruise ships,many research institutes in China are conducting cruise ship design studies.Flow path design is a non-negligible part of the layout design of cruise ship,it plays a crucial role in communicating space cognition,expressing space efficiency,and controlling space order.Safe evacuation,as a rigid design standard for cruise ships,is a must for cruise flow path.This dissertation mainly studies the flow path design characteristics of the existing typical cruise ships,combines the environmental psychology and safety evacuation to summarize the flow path design principles,and then conducts design analysis and optimization of the cruise flow path by using the evacuation model and the comprehensive evaluation model.Firstly,the correlation between flow path design and layout design of cruise ship is studied by summarizing the design rules and characteristics of flow path design for typical cruise ships.According to the design requirements of environmental psychology and safety evacuation,the design principles of the accessibility,safety and harmony of the cruise line are put forward.Then,the general static and dynamic attributes and traffic parameters of individuals and groups are analyzed.According to the analysis of the pedestrian flow observation experiments carried out on the "Quantum of The Seas" and the comparative analysis with previous research results,a traffic parameter fitting curve and general value of the passenger traffic on the cruise ship are put forward.And the evacuation models under day and night scenarios are established according to the rule of MSC.1/CIRC.1533.Meanwhile,the assessment indexes of the evacuation system of cruise flow path is proposed based on Hierarchy-Entropy Weight Method,and a hierarchical structure model of cruise flow path evacuation is constructed.The complex weight of the comprehensive evaluation system are obtained by coupling the objective weights obtained by the Entropy Weight Method and the subjective weights of the Analytic Hierarchy Process.And the main work of evaluating the evacuation of cruise flow path by the Hierarchy-Entropy Weight Method is exemplified.Finally,taking the "Quantum of The Seas" as a case analysis object,and according to the design method of flow path,three improved schemes are proposed for the flow path from two aspects,one is the overall program layout and another is the structure form and scale.These schemes are calculated the evacuation time and evaluated based on the evaluation system of cruise flow path.The results show that the improved method starting from the overall layout is more effective than another,however,the conflict points of flow path networks should be minimized to avoid potential safety hazards.This dissertation mainly studies the flow path design of cruise ship from the perspective of evacuation,which can provide suggestions and references for future researchers to study the overall design of cruise flow path.
