Abstrakt: Abstract: As a kind of emergency evacuation, the large-scale evacuation is an effective measure to mitigate disaster in a sudden crises. Research into the emergency evacuation of crowds has been the focus of many scholars at home and abroad for some time. In this paper, four principal aspects of current research into large-scale crowd evacuation, namely evacuation theories, evacuation modeling, evacuation decision-making and evacuation risk evaluation have been summarized. Of these, evacuation modeling has attracted the greatest interest. While some evacuation models have proved effective tools in evacuation decision-making and risk evaluation, existing evacuation models have not fully considered the uncertain factors in the process of large-scale evacuation.
