With the increasing of risk potential in crowded places, evacuation management becomes
practically important to ensure the safety of crowds. The studies of crowd evacuation in …

In a pioneering work in Nature journal, a counter-intuitive prediction that escape rates of
people under panic conditions will be enhanced if an obstacle such as a column or a barrier …

To understand the current development and status of research on emergency evacuation,
the published literature in the Web of Science core database from 2008 to 2018 were taken …

Crowd evacuation of a building has been studied over the last decades. In this paper, seven
methodological approaches for crowd evacuation have been identified. These approaches …

The route choice of pedestrians during evacuation under conditions of both good and zero
visibility is investigated using a group of experiments conducted in a classroom, and a …

With the extensive construction of rail tunnels, the subway has gradually become the most
widely used means of public transport. As important transportation hubs, the evacuation …

A dynamic cellular automaton (CA) model is proposed to simulate the evacuation process in
the rooms with obstacles. Besides the basic parameters such as human psychology …

Recent advances in bottleneck studies have highlighted that different architectural
adjustments at the exit may reduce the probability of clogging at the exit thereby enhancing …

A modified floor field model is proposed to simulate pedestrian evacuation in rooms with
internal obstacles and multiple exits. The modifications lie in developing a method to …

The paper presents a simulation–optimization modeling framework for the evacuation of
large-scale pedestrian facilities with multiple exit gates. The framework integrates a genetic …
