The paper presents a simulation–optimization modeling framework for the evacuation of
large-scale pedestrian facilities with multiple exit gates. The framework integrates a genetic …

This paper explores the likely behaviours of train passengers in an emergency evacuation
and examines four crucial theoretical issues on the passengers' evacuation, including …

The level of service in public walking spaces is mainly determined by the differences in
pedestrian traffic demand and infrastructure supply. A problem worth studying is the …

This paper investigates pedestrian crowd tactical‐level decision making during emergency
evacuations. Of particular interest is crowd exit‐choice behaviour. Two sources of stated …

This paper deals with a new variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in which no a
priori parameter tuning is necessary. PSO, as an efficient and powerful problem-solving …

Crowd evacuation in emergencies may lead to fatalities if the evacuation plans were not
tested and evaluated. Traditionally, evacuation drills have been, and still are, being used to …

Considering the continuous growth of optimization methods and its importance to
Emergency Management (EM) systems, this review paper introduces and discusses the …

Optimal design of water distribution systems (WDSs), including the sizing of components,
quality control, reliability, renewal, and rehabilitation strategies, etc., is a complex problem in …
