The software package AENEAS version 2.4.1 has been certified by the German
See-Berufsgenossenschaft according to MSC.1/Circ. 1238
(PDF, 450 kB, external link).
The program AENEAS is used for the simulation of the evacuation of passenger
ships and fulfills all requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Additionally, the program PedGo for the simulation of building evacuation was certified, since it also fulfills the IMO
requirements. AENEAS, on the other hand, is able to simulate the influence of ship motion, which goes beyond the current
requirements.
