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 …

Developing a safe, effective, and timely evacuation plan is challenging in complex buildings
like hospitals. Although accurate evacuation drills could enhance the efficiency of …

With the extension of the subway network and the increase in passenger flow, higher traffic
pressure and risk level have occurred. Adopting appropriate guidance strategies is a critical …

The performance-based approach using Required Safety Egress Time/Available Safety
Egress Time concept is the most common method in fire safety evaluation. However, this …

This paper investigates the behaviour of subgroups in crowd dynamics by means of filming
and observation. An existing crowd modelling program, CrowdDMX, based on a discrete …

The formulation of pedestrian floor field cellular automaton models is generally based on
hypothetical assumptions to represent reality. This paper proposes a novel methodology to …

Emergency evacuation in crowded public transport terminals in the Far East is a matter of
great concern. Passengers are jammed at the exits during peak hours, even under normal …

Human behaviors and capabilities during fire evacuations can be significantly influenced by
the environmental conditions such as building layout and smoke distribution, and therefore …

This study investigates the effects of guide-based guidance on the pedestrian evacuation
under limited visibility via the simulations based on an extended social force model. The …

Crowd motion simulation requires specification of a range of parameters, each reflecting
certain aspects of agent behavior. But what parameters matter the most? Are they all equally …
