Underground construction in China is featured by large scale, high speed, long construction
period, complex operation and frustrating situations regarding project safety. Various …

The present study reviews the evacuation-related studies in metro or subway stations. The
review process includes four phases of analysis, namely bibliometric search, descriptive …

Egress behaviour of pedestrians in crowded complex confined spaces is investigated in this
study. Despite recent methodological progress in the development of simulation tools for …

A new concept of subway station capacity (SSC) is defined according to the gathering and
scattering process. A queuing network analytical model of station is created for calculating …

During fire emergencies, people in large infrastructures are difficult to comprehend real-time
fire dynamics and identify available evacuation routes, leading to lengthy evacuation time …

This paper proposes a problem of passenger flow organization in subway stations under
uncertain demand. The existing concepts of station service capacity are extended and …

Computer simulations are increasingly used to monitor and predict behavior at large crowd
events, such as mass gatherings, festivals and evacuations. We critically examine the crowd …

This paper explores the likely behaviours of train passengers in an emergency evacuation
and examines four crucial theoretical issues on the passengers' evacuation, including …

This paper develops a systematic simulation-based multi-attribute decision approach to
route choice planning, in which uncertainties and dynamics underlying pedestrian behaviors …

We covered the shelter-in-place risk assessment approach in the previous chapter, but
when deciding to evacuate, evacuation is a dynamic process: How to evaluate its risk …
