Abstract
The article discusses evacuation models based on a multi-agent approach. It contains reflections associated with several evacuation experiments carried out by the author, as well as a practical approach towards the creation of computer simulations using Cellular Automata based Multi-agent Systems. The article describes the results of large room evacuation experiments with a comparison of practical and theoretical approaches.
