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 role of data-driven approaches in studies of crowd behaviour has received an
unprecedented recognition in recent years. As a result, the size of the empirical crowd …

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 …

Understanding the collective dynamics of crowd movements during stressful emergency
situations is central to reducing the risk of deadly crowd disasters. Yet, their systematic …

Exit choice is vital to pedestrians' survival during evacuations. This paper presents the
results of a VR experiment and a field experiment to study pedestrian exit choice behaviour …

Although understanding wayfinding behaviour in complex buildings is important to ensure
pedestrian safety, the state of the art predominantly investigated pedestrian movement in …

Virtual Reality (VR) provides the possibility to study pedestrian wayfinding behaviour in multi-
level buildings. Although VR has been applied increasingly to study pedestrian behaviour, it …

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 …

Emergency evacuation in metro stations could be highly challenging due to complex
underground environments, dynamic hazards and high-density crowds. There are different …
