In a pioneering work in Nature journal, a counter-intuitive prediction that escape rates of
people under panic conditions will be enhanced if an obstacle such as a column or a barrier …

Evacuation leaders and/or equipment provide route and exit information for people and
guide them to the expected destinations, which could make crowd evacuation more efficient …

Recent advances in bottleneck studies have highlighted that different architectural
adjustments at the exit may reduce the probability of clogging at the exit thereby enhancing …

This work is a systematic review of optimisation methods for pedestrian evacuations. The
focus is on interventional approaches that seek to improve evacuation efficiency rather than …

Obstacle avoidance behavior, as an important part of pedestrian evacuation, is of great
significance to the study of evacuation efficiency. This paper investigates the definitions of …

The escape panic version of the Social Force Model (SFM) is a suitable model for describing
emergency evacuations. In this research, we analyze a real-life video, recorded at the …

Multimodal transportation hubs serve as transfer points with the function of collecting,
transferring, and distributing passengers and play a significant role in the entire multimodal …

The integrated use of building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information
system (GIS) is promising for the development of asset management systems (AMSs) for …

A crucial aspect of simulating crowds' evacuation processes is that humans can dynamically
revisit and change their decisions. While a relatively great deal of attention has been paid by …

Pedestrian regulation can prevent crowd accidents and improve crowd safety in densely
populated areas. Recent studies use mobile robots to regulate pedestrian flows for desired …
