Abstract
There is currently some understanding of the likely occupant response to the use of lifts for evacuation, but there are a number of questions that need to be answered before we have the full picture. Furthering our knowledge in this area will allow more realistic design assumptions to be used and more efficient and effective evacuation methods to be developed.
