Evacuation for large-scale activities usually involves a great number of pedestrians and
vehicles. By applying ant colony optimization algorithm, an evacuation route optimization …

This paper proposes a multi-exit evacuation model based on a continuous model for the
pedestrian evacuation problem. Firstly, it is determined that the distance between …

The major methodologies of crowd simulation in a dynamic environments are either based
on micro or macro models. These two types of models represent the trade-off between the …

Pedestrian heterogeneity is one of the important factors affecting evacuation efficiency in
subway stations. This paper mainly studies the impact of pedestrian heterogeneity on …

People under emergencies will choose different traffic modes (walking, driving, etc.) for
evacuation. In this circumstance, the conflicts of the mixed flows (pedestrians and vehicles) …

Pedestrian evacuation has become a focus problem, and it has been widely concerned by
scholars in recent years. It is very useful for managers to study the dynamic movement …

Crowd egress at narrow exit is a popular research topic, due to its intrinsic importance in
architectural designs and building codes. However, relatively few studies have been …

This paper presents an online evacuation policy optimization framework for escape
movement of large populations through geometrically complex building spaces with active …

Exit‐choice behavior significantly influences the performance of egress operations in
crowded spaces. Thus, strategically issuing active exit‐choice recommendations that …

Link-level congestion, such as link spillback and long intersection queues, should be
avoided during emergency evacuation. The reason is that these local traffic incidents can …
