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 …

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 …

Following the review of the experimental methods and top emerging topics, here, studies
using the field data collection methods of pedestrian dynamics (April 2017-July 2019) are …

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 …

How does evacuation behaviour of crowds vary based on the level of perceived urgency?
This question was investigated using two simulated experiments of crowd evacuations …

Background. The three terms “panic”,“irrationality”, and “herding” are ubiquitous in the crowd
dynamics literature and have a strong influence on both modelling and management …

Pedestrians often need to decide between different routes they can use to reach their
intended destinations, both during emergencies and in their daily lives. This route-choice …

This article presents an interdisciplinary study of physical and social psychological effects on
crowd dynamics based on a series of bottleneck experiments. Bottlenecks are of particular …
