Pathfinder is a new evacuation simulator. Unlike flow-based or cell-based models, Pathfinder uses techniques from current computer science research to model the movement of individuals, building on technology used in the gaming and computer graphics industries.

Pathfinder provides the tools necessary to make confident decisions regarding building layout and fire protection system design. Multiple simulation modes and customizable occupant properties let you easily explore different scenarios, allowing calculation of conservative and optimistic bounds on expected evacuation times.

New Release, Pathfinder 2011:

New “locally quickest” path selection system for more intelligent path planning.
Elevators in addition to stairs and ramps, can be used for evacuation.
Updated graphical interface and reduced load time in the 3D results view.
Improved processing of imported geometry.
Optimized performance of the simulation engine, including parallelization for multi-core CPUs.
Enhanced realism in the movement behaviors of the individual occupants.
New behavior scripting for adding additional movement goals prior to exit.
New 3D occupant models to choose from, including a fire fighter model.
Many bug fixes, improvements and optimizations in the solver and the user interface.
