Acknowledgements Dr. James Milke, Dr. John Bryan, both from the University of Maryland, and Dr. Kathy Notarianni (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) provided guidance and overall direction for the report, along with detailed and insightful review of the report. Dr. Rita Fahy from the National Fire Protection Association (developer of EXIT89), Dr. Peter Thompson from Integrated Environmental Solutions (developer of Simulex), Dr. Steve Gwynne from the University of Greenwich, Dr. Ed Galea from the University of Greenwich, and Dr. David Purser from the Building Research Establishment provided guidance in the use of their models and egress modeling in general. In addition, the authors acknowledge the support of all of the model developers who aided in the understanding of their individual models by answering emails, phone calls, and/or sending publications.
