Abstract This document reviews the history and current status of computer models of the evacuation of an airliner cabin. Basic concepts upon which evacuation models are based are discussed, followed by a review of the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute s efforts during the 1970s. A comparison is made of the three models available today (GA Model, AIREVAC, and EXODUS). The report then reviews parameters common to models, and discusses literature available as a basis for these parameters. Finally, the report briefly discusses validation exercises for evacuation models.
