Performance-based design is more holistic and flexible than prescriptive design for
providing safety in large complex buildings. Here, a multi-agent method to model the egress …

In building emergency evacuation, the perception of hazards can stress crowds, evoke their
competitive behaviors, and trigger disorder and blocking as they pass through narrow …

Studies of past emergency events have revealed that occupants' behaviors, egress signage
system, local geometry, and environmental constraints affect crowd movement and govern …

In this study, we propose a machine vision-based method for crowd density estimation and
evacuation simulation to help reduce the occurrence of stampedes in crowded public …

As a complex system, crowd dynamics emerge bottom-up from the local interactions
between pedestrians as component subsystems. This article proposes a predictive agent …

Studies of past emergency events have revealed that occupants' behaviors, local geometry,
and environmental constraints affect crowd movement and govern the evacuation. In …

Crowd evacuation in different situations is an important topic in the research field of safety.
This paper presents a hybrid model for heterogeneous pedestrian evacuation simulation …

Improvements in the design of pedestrian facilities have reduced the frequency of crowd
accidents, and safety is now generally ensured in well-planned crowd events. However …

Studies of past emergency events have revealed that occupants' behaviors, local geometry,
and environmental constraints affect crowd movement and evacuation. Design of egress …

Crowd management at large-scale events and specific facilities is a critical issue from the
perspectives of safety and service quality improvement. Traditional methods for crowd …
