Pedestrian flows through a narrow doorway: Effect of individual behaviours on the global flow and microscopic dynamics
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the dynamics of pedestrian evacuations through a narrow doorway by means of controlled experiments. The influence of the pedestrians' behaviours is investigated by prescri…
Influence of selfish and polite behaviours on a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit: A quantitative characterisation
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the influence of selfish vs. polite behaviours on the dynamics of a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit. To this end, experiments involving about 80 participants w…
Statistical fluctuations in pedestrian evacuation times and the effect of social contagion
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
Mathematical models of pedestrian evacuation and the associated simulation software have become essential tools for the assessment of the safety of public facilities and buildings.…
