When simulating non-trivial scenarios of pedestrian movements it is necessary to model
both the small-scale movements to a visible target (operational level) and the process to find …

Evacuations are an important aspect of emergency planning. Many persons with special
needs could reach a safe area on their own or with assistance by other people around, if …

For the purpose of emergency evacuation design, reliable data on the occupants of an
