This paper is concerned with the representation of building users in simulation applications
that explore buildings' energy and indoor environmental performance. In recent years, efforts …

In this review paper, we aim to make the case that a concept from retail analytics and
marketing—the customer journey—can provide promising new frameworks and support for …

One of the most important aspects for a realistic prediction of pedestrian flows is the
modelling of human navigation in normal situations such as early design phases of …

For the spatial design of buildings as well as for the layout of large event areas, the crowd
behaviour of the future users plays a significant role. The designing engineer has to make …

Despite a history of year-by-year reduction in road-crossing harm and fatality in the United
States, the trend reversed course in 2009 and road-crossing has grown more hazardous …

The self-organized queuing behavior becomes increasingly common at the non-service
bottlenecks with no physical constraints, such as an exit of a room, the entrances of an …

When engineers create a safety-critical system, they need to perform an adequate hazard
analysis. For Systems of Systems (SoSs), however, hazard analysis is difficult because of …

Agent-based models (ABMs) of human systems are often parameterized using real-world
data. For some ABMs this is not possible because the reality upon which the models are …

Crowding force is an important index in evaluating the safety of those within high density
crowds. However, studies on high density crowd simulation models have not been …

Aiming at assessing accurately and effectively of the mass people movement in public
transport infrastructure, this research adopting video recording to capture the movement …
