We report a thorough analysis of the intermittent flow of pedestrians through a narrow door.
The observations include five different sets of evacuation drills with which we have …

The “faster-is-slower”(FIS) effect was first predicted by computer simulations of the egress of
pedestrians through a narrow exit [D. Helbing, IJ Farkas, and T. Vicsek, Nature (London) …

Abstract The Faster-Is-Slower effect (Helbing et al (2000)) is an important instance of self-
organized phenomenon in pedestrian dynamics. Despite this, an experimental …

We revisit the assumption stating that greater levels of rush in pedestrians' collective egress
through narrow bottlenecks impedes the discharge process and makes it slower, commonly …

The study of the discharge of active or self-driven matter in narrow passages has become of
the growing interest in a variety of fields. The question has particularly important practical …

The evacuation speed of pedestrians through bottlenecks usually leads to the faster-is-
slower (FIS) phenomenon, which relies on frictional clogging and clusters' size. However …

In this work we studied the trajectories, velocities and densities of ants when egressing
under controlled levels of stress produced by a chemical repellent at different …

We present experimental results on the endurance of arches that block the outlet of a two-
dimensional silo when subjected to vertical vibration. In a recent paper [C. Lozano, Phys …

In the present work we investigate the egress times of a group of Argentine ants
(Linepithema humile) stressed with different heating speeds. We found that the higher the …

We present numerical results of the effect that the driving force has on the clogging
probability of inert particles passing through a bottleneck. When the driving force is …
