The simulation software Simulex was adopted to study the emergency evacuation process of
the island type subway elevated station and determine the “bottleneck” positions. The effects …

Due to the underground nature and dense concentration of people around transit stations,
emergency evacuation during fire accidents can become a noticeable problem in subways …

With the rapid development in economics, subway systems have been constructed in many
big cities of China. Computer evacuation models developed overseas are commonly …

In order to study the influencing factors of fire evacuation bottlenecks and evacuation time in
subway transfer stations, a subway transfer station model was built using Pathfinder to …

In the process in which high-density passengers need to be evacuated from a multi-exit
subway station, not all the exits can be effectively utilized, and the bottlenecks near the exits …

The metro has become an important component of the urban traffic system. Due to the dense
crowd, if sudden accidents occurred during rush hours in station, such as fires, explosions or …

In this work, we conducted downward evacuation experiments in four types of staircases
under various smoke visibility conditions of the naked eye, wearing sunglass and wearing …

The objective of this study is to establish and evaluate an Emergency Evacuation Capacity
(EEC) model for key evacuation facilities in subway stations through analyzing key factors …

Crowding during the morning peak hours at a platform staircase in a subway station in
China was studied in this paper. Passenger flow was surveyed with normal evacuation time …

To estimate evacuation capacity of subway stations under emergency conditions, a bilevel
programming model of evacuee equilibrium is built by considering travel time on walking …
