The improvement of evacuation efficiency for pedestrians mixed with wheelchair users has
practical significance to public safety. In this study, a series of pedestrian experiments are …

Simulation methods that can overcome the limitations of theory and experiment are widely
used to predict disaster situations and analyze evacuation safety. To obtain more accurate …

The pedestrians can only avoid collisions passively under the action of forces during
simulations using the social force model, which may lead to unnatural behaviors. This paper …

We study the similarities and differences between the headway-velocity relations under
normal and emergency conditions to explore whether they can be described by a unified …

As bottlenecks of walking facilities in subway stations, merging passages are prone to
congestion when passengers walk and evacuate under daily operation and emergency …

An improved social force model based on exit selection is proposed to simulate pedestrians'
microscopic behaviors in subway station. The modification lies in considering three factors of …

We propose an optimization-based model for simulating the overtaking behaviour in the
unidirectional pedestrian flow. A 'visual area'is introduced so that agents could receive the …

Pedestrian speed in a transfer station corridor is faster than usual and sometimes running
can be found among some of them. In this paper, pedestrians are divided into two …

Empirical evidence suggests that evacuees tend to break down their well-coordinated
motion and adopt competitive egress behaviour when they are confronting life-endangering …

The separating behavior defines the division of a crowd from a single flow into two
distributary flows due to the different pedestrians' destinations. Nevertheless, in the existing …
