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…
Microscopic dynamics of escaping groups through an exit and a corridor
Eric A. Rozan, Guillermo A. Frank, Fernando E. Cornes +2
This research explores the dynamics of emergency evacuations in the presence of social groups. The investigation was carried out in the context of the basic Social Force Model (SFM…
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…
Room evacuation through two contiguous exits
I. M. Sticco, G. A. Frank, C. O. Dorso
Current regulations demand that at least two exits should be available for a safe evacuation during a panic situation. Although the "faster is slower" effect is expected to take pl…
