Introduction The safety of humans in crowded environments has been recognised as an
important and rapidly growing research area with significant implications for urban planning …

Emergency evacuation in case of an emergency is a crucial problem in high-rise buildings,
as many occupants are in a limited amount of space. To improve building safety design and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

This paper analyzes literatures on crowd evacuation based on data extracted from Web of
Science by applying bibliometric approaches. In specific, reference co-citation analysis …

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 …

The presence of social groups in pedestrian crowds can have a substantial effect on the
overall evacuation process. However, crowds are mostly simplified as a collection of …

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 …
