Pedestrian dynamics plays an important role in public facility design and evacuation
management. During an escape process from a large public space, crowd behavior is a …

Pedestrian simulation approach has been widely used to reveal the human behavior and
evaluate the performance of crowd evacuation. In the existing pedestrian simulation models …

Crowd egress at narrow exit is a popular research topic, due to its intrinsic importance in
architectural designs and building codes. However, relatively few studies have been …

The primary objective of this study is to compare pedestrian evacuation strategies in the
large-scale public space (LPS) using microscopic model. Data were collected by video …

This study proposes a potential-based dynamic pedestrian flow assignment model to
optimize the evacuation time needed for all pedestrians to leave an indoor or outdoor area …

To control overcrowded pedestrians at the exit, buffer zones are very common in densely
populated areas. However, little focus has been paid on the mechanisms of buffer zone. In …

This paper presents a generalized walking cost distribution to determine a dynamic
navigation field in the social force model for pedestrian evacuation. The local walking cost …

The crowd motion in complex sites is a critical basis of analysing the law of crowd
evacuation behaviour. However, few studies comprehensively considered the overall effect …

In the paper, a routing algorithm of two sub-algorithms is proposed for consideration of
tactical decisions in a microscopic crowd simulation. One sub-algorithm works in the high or …

Pedestrian flow through narrow exits is one the most important features of crowd dynamics
and evacuation. This is a particularly important aspect of pedestrian simulation models in …
