Abstract With the advance in living standard, cruise travel has been rapidly expanding around the world in recent years. The transportation of passengers over the water has also made a rapid development. It is expected that ships will be more and more widely used. Unfortunately, recent ship disasters caused serious losses. It raised concerns on the effectiveness of passenger evacuation on ships. The present study thus focuses on pedestrian evacuation features on ships. On ships, passenger movements are affected by the periodical water motion and thus are quite different from the characteristic when walking on a static horizontal floor. Taking into consideration this special feature, an agent-based pedestrian model is formulated and the effect of ship swaying on pedestrian evacuation efficiency is investigated. Results indicated that the proposed model can be used to quantify the special evacuation process on ships.
