Experiment and modeling of exit-selecting behaviors during a building evacuation

Fang, Zhiming; Song, Weiguo; Zhang, Jun; Wu, Hao - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 4, pp. 815-824

The evacuation process in a teaching building with two neighboring exits is investigated by means of experiment and …-selecting phenomenon in the experiment is analyzed, and it is found that pedestrians prefer selecting the closer exit even though the other … exit is only a little far. In order to understand the phenomenon, we reproduce the experiment process with a modified …

A continuous distance model (CDM) for the single-file pedestrian movement considering step frequency and length

Fang, Zhi-Ming; Song, Wei-Guo; Liu, Xuan; Lv, Wei; Ma, Jian - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 1, pp. 307-316

A good evacuation model should be good to predict actual macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of pedestrian movement. In order to explore pedestrian movement behavior, we conducted controlled experiments of the single-file pedestrian movement, extracted the motion data by using a...
