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 …

The present study reviews the evacuation-related studies in metro or subway stations. The
review process includes four phases of analysis, namely bibliometric search, descriptive …

In the event of a fire emergency in the built environment, occupants face a range of
evacuation decisions, including the choice of exits. An important question from the …

Abstract 'Movement to the familiar'has been reported during evacuation incidents but has not
yet been studied in controlled experiments. We investigate effects of exit familiarity and …

Virtual reality (VR) has become a popular approach to study human behavior in fire. The
present position paper analyses Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats …

This study aimed to examine the influence of crowd flow on human evacuation behavior
during building fire emergencies, when evacuees perceive high uncertainty in the …

Abstract Knowledge on human behaviour in emergency is crucial to increase the safety of
buildings and transportation systems. Decision making during evacuations implies different …

Egress behaviour of pedestrians in crowded complex confined spaces is investigated in this
study. Despite recent methodological progress in the development of simulation tools for …

This paper presents evacuation simulations of occupants' flow in a tunnel fire via a modified
cellular automaton model and puts forward corresponding optimized evacuation strategies …

Introduction Evacuation from tunnel fire emergencies requires quick decision-making and
swift action from the tunnel occupants. Social influence (SI) has been identified as an …
