Simulation of the Neuschwanstein Castle:Egress of a fairy castle
The Neuschwanstein Castle, located at the very south of Germany, is one of the most famous sights in Germany and well-known all over the world.Initially designed by King Louis Ⅱ in the late 19th century, it attracts more than one million visitors every year.One very challenging task is to provide safety for all visitors in case of an emergency: The complex geometry of the castle in combination with the fact, that the majority of the people are not familiar with the building, has to be considered when planning escape routes.Surplus, the temporal-spatial correlation during evacuation of this eight storey castle is difficult to address statically.In order to support the local building authorities and safety planners, a simulation was conducted to optimize the escape routes.The paper describes how the simulation supported safety engineers to address these challenges and how it led to improvements in escape route planning and thus reducing the overall egress time.
