A review of literature related to fire evacuation in high-rise buildings was carried out with the
following objectives,(1) to identify the key behavioural factors affecting the performance of …

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 …

The construction of metro in China is in a period of an unprecedented development in recent
years, and the passengers are in high density within the metro during the operation time, the …

The characteristics of pedestrian movement down stairs from high-rise building influence the
total evacuation time, the formation of congestion and even the safety of evacuees. In this …

The time that it takes an occupant population to reach safety when descending a stairwell
during building evacuations is typically described by measurable engineering variables …

Human behavior is fundamental to human safety and the outcomes of building emergencies.
It is correlated with social environments, building environments and emergency situations …

This paper develops a systematic simulation-based multi-attribute decision approach to
route choice planning, in which uncertainties and dynamics underlying pedestrian behaviors …

With the development of modern cities, more and more ultra high-rise buildings have been
built. Emergency evacuation of such buildings becomes one of the major concerns for …

Agent-based crowd models describe pedestrians as autonomous interacting agents. Current
models take into account the physical contact forces occurring in a crowd, but the description …

Architectural features such as merging corridors form an important component in floor plans
of any major public infrastructure. Previous studies on documented crowd disasters have …
