      abstract     = {Usually, modeling of the evacuations is done during the
                      planning and authorizing process of office buildings or
                      large scale facilities, where computing time is not an issue
                      at all. The collaborative Hermes project [1] aims at
                      improving the safety of mass events by constructing an
                      evacuation assistant, a decision support system for heads of
                      operation in an actual evacuation. For this, the status
                      (occupancy and available egress routes) of a facility is
                      constantly monitored with automatic person counters, door
                      sensors, smoke sensors, and manual input from security
                      staff. Starting from this status, egress is simulated faster
                      than real time, and the result visualized in a suitable
                      fashion to show what is likely to happen in the next 15 min.
                      The test case for this evacuation assistant is the clearing
                      of the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf which holds
                      50,000–65,000 persons depending on the event type. The on
                      site prediction requires the ability to simulate the egress
                      in ≈2 min, a task that requires the combination of a fast
                      algorithm and a parallel computer. The paper will describe
                      the details of the evacuation problem, the architecture of
                      the evacuation assistant, the pedestrian motion model
                      employed and the optimization and parallelization of the
                      code. Keywords Evacuation; Simulation; Real time
