Faster and safer evacuations induced by closed vestibules
I. M. Sticco, G. A. Frank, C. O. Dorso
Improving emergency evacuations is a top priority in human safety and in pedestrian dynamics. In this paper, we use the social force model, in order to optimize high-anxiety pedest…
Improving competitive evacuations with a vestibule structure designed from panel-like obstacles
I. M. Sticco, G. A. Frank, C. O. Dorso
It has been shown that placing an obstacle in front of an exit door has proven to be a successful method to improve pedestrian evacuations. In this work, we will focus on the space…
Social Force Model parameter testing and optimization using a high stress real-life situation
I. M. Sticco, G. A. Frank, C. O. Dorso
The escape panic version of the Social Force Model (SFM) is a suitable model for describing emergency evacuations. In this research, we analyze a real-life video, recorded at the o…
Effects of the body force on the pedestrian and the evacuation dynamics
Ignacio Sticco, Guillermo Frank, Claudio Dorso
The Social Force Model (SFM) is a suitable model for describing crowd behaviors under emotional stress. This research analyzes the role of the body force in the original SFM. We fo…
A re-examination of the role of friction in the original Social Force Model
I. M. Sticco, G. A. Frank, F. E. Cornes +1
The fundamental diagram of pedestrian dynamics gives the relation between the density and the flow within a specific enclosure. It is characterized by two distinctive behaviors: th…
Beyond the "faster is slower" effect
I. M. Sticco, F. E. Cornes, G. A. Frank +1
The "faster is slower" effect raises when crowded people push each other to escape through an exit during an emergency situation. As individuals push harder, a statistical slowing…
