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 …

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 …

Following the review of the experimental methods and top emerging topics, here, studies
using the field data collection methods of pedestrian dynamics (April 2017-July 2019) are …

To improve occupant safety during building emergencies, evacuation simulations have been
widely used for building safety design. Since occupant behavior is a determining factor for …

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 …

The challenge of controlling crowd movement at large events expands not only to the realm
of emergency evacuations but also to improving non-critical conditions related to operational …

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 …

In this research, the effects of the passenger population composition and ship familiarity in
an emergency evacuation are analysed. The results identified that the effects of different …

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 …
