In the event of an emergency evacuation, the total time taken to reach the main exit happens critical and important. The time taken reflected the barriers such as blockages and queuing process. Although the Uniform Building By-Law has mandatory declared that each building must follow the standard evacuation preparedness procedure, the building owner is unaware of the best evacuation model to be implemented. Besides, the owner has a problem with the suitability and high cost incurred if they directly implement the model. Therefore, this study proposes to model the simulation approaches in assessing evacuation models to identify the best model based on the building layout. Pathfinder, AnyLogic, and PedGo are the three-simulation software used in this study. The comparison has been made by conducting six simulation studies using 50, 100 and 150 occupants as the design parameter, with six attributes implemented in each simulation software. A high-rise 14th-floor plan was used as the case study to evaluate the actual scenarios of an evacuation. As a result, the Pathfinder evacuation model shows the lowest average time taken percentage, with the lowest mean value of 300.9983, ANOVA test with a significant value of 0.024, which is less than 0.05. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
