abstract = "Pedestrian evacuation is one of the most crucial research fields in safety management. Staircase is a main escape route when pedestrians evacuate from the multi-story building. According to different priorities about evacuation, it is necessary to make a rational strategy that reducing the casualties and property damage effectively. The article makes an attempt to establish a extended network model, which is used to make further applications in more complex architectures to analyze the evacuation. The results of our study could provide individual instructions for risk avoidance and effective strategies for safety management.",
