This paper provides a critical review on the state-of-the-art pedestrian and evacuation
dynamics so as to comprehensively comprehend the motion behaviors of pedestrians from …

Braess proposed one of the classical traffic paradoxes in 1968, which states that adding a
link in a transportation network may increase the travel cost for all travelers in the network …

Evacuation is critical for safety management due to the highly overcrowded passengers in
the metro stations. A simulation-based approach integrating Random Forest (RF) and Non …

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 …

Pedestrian evacuation simulation (PES) provides a low-cost and low-risk method to facilitate
safety design and emergency management in indoor environment by describing pedestrian …

Evacuation is a critical issue at metro stations, where damage, or even death, could be
caused due to unexpected accidents if without proper evacuation. Multi-objectives are often …

This paper presents a generalized walking cost distribution to determine a dynamic
navigation field in the social force model for pedestrian evacuation. The local walking cost …

In this paper we are concerned with multiscale modeling, control, and simulation of self-
organizing agents leaving an unknown area under limited visibility, with special emphasis …

Humans use social information to improve their decisions in scenarios that involve
uncertainty. Previous research has shown that this social influence can have positive or …

We report experimental measurements obtained during the evacuation of 180 soldiers
through a narrow door. Several conditions are analyzed in the evacuation drills, such as the …
