This paper proposes a novel real-time decision methodology for the selection of optimal
evacuation routes for buildings. A summary of the mathematical formulation, the solution …

Introduction This empirical study investigates, in parallel, two key questions in relation with
modelling discrete choices.(i) To what extent econometric modelling estimates and …

Occupants in building fires usually have difficulties to evacuate safely, and providing
guidance may help them select proper routes. However, groups of occupants may not follow …

It is difficult to observe people's actual evacuation behavior in case of a real aircraft accident.
For one, luckily, because aircraft incidences have very low probabilities, and for another …

Escape behaviour of humans during emergencies in crowded environments is typically
assumed to follow a so-called “panic” model in which the population is made up of …

There have been a number of high-profile incidents in recent years in which appropriate
evacuation has been necessary due to the extreme nature of the incident (eg, terrorist …

A pedestrian's visual field constantly changes as they move around a room containing
structural components or large furniture, which can block the pedestrian from perceiving …

Conventional simulations on multi‐exit indoor evacuation focus primarily on how to
determine a reasonable exit based on numerous factors in a changing environment. Results …

In order to look into people's behavior in crowds during emergencies, we conducted an
evacuation drill experiment in an office building of a university without early notification …

Abstract The Network or Macroscopic Fundamental diagram (MFD) has been a topic
receiving a lot of attention in the past decade. Both from a theoretical angle and from a more …
