This paper introduces a novel technique to design the level of service (LOS) for facilities or
sub spaces of buildings for the purpose of evacuation planning. LOS is a standard …

In this paper, we make a systematic analysis on movement characteristics of descending
pedestrians on a stairway. According to the clustering of pedestrian lanes, the average …

The implementation of a well-organized formation for evacuation plays a critical role in
ensuring the safety of individuals during flood events. To investigate the effectiveness of …

Shepherding, the task of guiding a herd of autonomous individuals in a desired direction, is
an essential skill to herd animals, enable crowd control and rescue from danger. Equipping …

As urban public spaces attract more pedestrians, it is essential to prevent excessive
pedestrian aggregation. Use of a walking behavior model is crucial to predict the distribution …

In this paper, spatial analysis for the nearest neighbors is performed in the unidirectional,
bidirectional and crossing flows. Based on the intended direction given in the experiment …

Abstract Knowledge on the movement of luggage-laden pedestrians is important to improve
the safety level in transport hubs especially in emergencies. In this study, a controlled …

On the basis of data-driven methodology, especially velocity correlations of pedestrians
moving in a crowd, we have proposed a new model of pedestrian dynamics with an easy …

Luggage-laden pedestrians are important traffic elements especially in public places such
as railway stations, airports etc. In this study, experiments were performed with luggage …

The collective motion of animal groups often exhibits velocity–velocity correlations between
nearest neighbours, with the strongest velocity correlations observed at the shortest inter …
