Identifying how pedestrians make exit choices in an emergency is a critical topic related to
safe indoor evacuation. Personal characteristics can influence the exit choice behavior of …

Guidance signs are generally considered to be key in improving the efficiency of emergency
building evacuations. During a group evacuation, how obedient is the group to the …

Pedestrian modeling and simulation has become an interesting topic that has gained
scientists' interest over the past few decades. While this field has yielded significant …

Navigation is a complex issue in simulating pedestrian dynamics. Many existing studies
have investigated how pedestrians navigate from an origin to a specific destination, ie …

The need for developing reliable and rigorous models that can replicate and make
predictions of pedestrian crowd evacuations has necessitated an understanding of the …

This research proposes a high-fidelity simulation method that integrates the strengths of
microscopic pedestrian modeling and three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) for the …

Understanding human behaviour in fires (HBiF), whether in building or wildland fire
contexts, is crucial for saving lives and managing evacuations. However, existing research …

Demographic trends and advances in accessibility have led to more heterogeneous
populations in public buildings. While providing accessible evacuation, it may be necessary …

The notion of hypothetical bias (HB) constitutes, arguably, the most fundamental issue in
relation to the use of hypothetical survey methods. Whether or to what extent choices of …

Evacuation and conducting emergency rescue operations in underground spaces pose
substantial challenges. However, limited work has been done to investigate how evacuees' …
