Introduction Evacuation from tunnel fire emergencies requires quick decision-making and
swift action from the tunnel occupants. Social influence (SI) has been identified as an …

Evacuation from a smoke filled tunnel requires quick decision-making and swift action from
the tunnel occupants. Technical installations such as emergency signage aim to guide …

Virtual reality (VR) is a promising tool to study evacuation behavior as it allows
experimentally controlled, safe simulation of otherwise dangerous situations. However …

Immediate user self-evacuation is crucial in case of fire in road tunnels. This study
investigated the effects of information with or without additional virtual reality (VR) …

Introduction Evacuation from tunnel fire emergencies may become problematic if tunnel
occupants do not engage quickly enough into evacuation. Dangerous goods transporters …

The traditional social science disciplines can provide many benefits to the field of human
behavior in fire (HBiF). First, the social sciences delve further into insights only marginally …

This thesis proposes the use of Serious Games as a behaviour elicitation tool in addition to
the traditional methods such as direct observations or statedpreference questionnaires. The …

The field of human behavior in fire is founded by and has deep roots within the field of fire
protection engineering. Extensive research and modeling efforts have been performed on …

This study explores social influence within the pre-evacuation phase, which includes a
literature review followed by experiments. The study is based on experiments by Latané and …
