abstract = {Assessing life safety by comparing the available safe
egress time (ASET) and the required safe egress time (RSET)
is a prominent task in performance-based fire safety design.
The calculation of a safety margin by subtracting RSET from
ASET is a straightforward concept and is easy to understand.
However, when the concept was developed, fire and evacuation
models only provided punctual information derived from
experimental correlations or hand calculations. Nowadays,
complex computer models for fire and evacuation dynamics
have become state of the art. However, the ASET-RSET concept
has not adapted to these developments. While uncertainties
related to the model input and the model application are
widely recognised, uncertainties emerging from analysing the
output only play a subordinate role.Therefore, we introduce
a map representation of ASET and RSET. The maps are
generated by a spatial evaluation of the quantities used to
determine ASET and RSET. Based on that, a difference map is
introduced to represent the safety margin throughout the
entire domain. Finally, a method is proposed to reduce the
high information content of the difference maps to one
scalar measure of consequences. This facilitates
multivariate or risk-based analysis approaches and thus is
able to reduce the uncertainties in performance-based
design.},
