  1. 11. Crowd evacuation in high-density scenarios

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Ines Cilenti; [2019]
    Keywords : Crowd evacuation; high-density; crowd pressure; video analysis; bottleneck; outdoor event; local density.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nowadays, is becoming increasingly frequent holding events in outdoor environments, involving a large number of people, even though these spaces were not designed from a safe prospective, in the way that safety is defined today. In such events, high density conditions is an ongoing issue, as the evacuation becomes very complex, due to the space design and the interaction among the pedestrians. READ MORE

  3. 12. Simulating Panic In Crowds During Evacuations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hannes Runelöv; Lisa Håkansson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The layout of a room plays an important role in how effectively it can be evacuated. In particular, the locations and number of exits in a room affect how effective an evacuation is. What also affects the effectiveness of evacuations is panic behaviour and injuries. READ MORE

  4. 13. Improving Flow Rate with Funnel-shaped Space Design using Crowd Simulation for Large Crowds

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anna Jargård; Robert Kindwall; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Crowd simulation is a technique used to model real people as agents in a computer-generated environment. Generating simulated crowds can help the research process of testing with agents in multiple scenarios without having to use real people. READ MORE

  5. 14. Simulation and evaluation of strategies for emergency evacuation of high-density crowds

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Isak Peterson; Emil Jonsson; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is of great importance to be able to quickly evacuate big crowds from venues such as concert arenas. This paper investigates and compares three different strategies for emergency evacuation of big crowds, based on frequently occurring phenomenons in evacuation, namely: To go for the closest possible emergency exit, to go for the main exit, meaning the way you came in, or to go for an emergency exit you have been given before the need for evacuation arises.

  6. 15. Evaluating Classroom Evacuation with Crowd Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Willy Liu; Daniel Parhizgar; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Effective organization of evacuation routes inside rooms needs to be considered when designing the layout. Studies have shown that an ineffective evacuation can in itself be the cause of injuries in emergency situations. READ MORE
