The role of data-driven approaches in studies of crowd behaviour has received an
unprecedented recognition in recent years. As a result, the size of the empirical crowd …

Background. The three terms “panic”,“irrationality”, and “herding” are ubiquitous in the crowd
dynamics literature and have a strong influence on both modelling and management …

ChatGPT is a highly advanced AI language model that has gained widespread popularity. It
is trained to understand and generate human language and is used in various applications …

This work is a systematic review of optimisation methods for pedestrian evacuations. The
focus is on interventional approaches that seek to improve evacuation efficiency rather than …

Crowds can be subject to intrinsic and extrinsic sources of risk, and previous records have
shown that, in the absence of adequate safety measures, these sources of risk can …

The literature of pedestrian, crowd and evacuation dynamics is captured in its approximate
full scope and is analysed at various levels using scientometric indicators of its underlying …

How does evacuation behaviour of crowds vary based on the level of perceived urgency?
This question was investigated using two simulated experiments of crowd evacuations …

Understanding human decision making during emergency evacuations is important. It is
because decision making is crucial at each stage of the evacuation (eg route choice, exit …

Behavioral modification using active instructions is a promising interventional method to
optimize crowd evacuations. However, existing research efforts have been more focused on …

Obstacles can play a prominent role in evacuations from spaces like classrooms. This study
investigates the impact of two types of human-obstacle interactions on evacuations …
