In the study of pedestrian movements, a consideration of group behaviors is important
because of their potential impacts on pedestrian flow dynamics. In this paper, we investigate …

The proper placement of signage greatly influences pathfinding and information provision in
public spaces. Clear visibility, easy comprehension, and efficient placement are all important …

Macroscopic pedestrian models for bidirectional flow analysis encounter limitations in
describing microscopic dynamics at crosswalks. Pedestrian behavior at crosswalks is …

Child behavior during evacuation, as a critical problem that has not been fully explored and
understood, is investigated in this paper, through conducting a group of experiments and …

Social force model is one of the well-known approaches that can successfully simulate
pedestrians' movements realistically. However, it is not suitable to simulate high-density …

Guidance is an efficient crowd management measure used to save lives in emergencies
because it can reduce the disorientation of pedestrians. This study investigates an optimal …

Merging flows involve complex interactions between pedestrians, which will restrict the
efficiency of the evacuation process in emergency situations, such as fires. However …

In this paper, according to the characteristics of evacuation in high-density crowd, a new
triangular grid cellular automata model is proposed. In this model, the maximum density of …

Abstract The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage that involves four main holy sites in Makkah, Saudi
Arabia. As the number of participants (pilgrims) attending these events has been increasing …

This study uses GPS data of 1461 participants at a planned special event organized in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin named AirVenture to characterize their spatio-temporal activity …
