Modeling framework for optimal evacuation of large-scale crowded pedestrian facilities
Abdelghany, Ahmed; Abdelghany, Khaled; Mahmassani, Hani; … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 237 (2014) 3, pp. 1105-1118
The paper presents a simulation–optimization modeling framework for the evacuation of large-scale pedestrian facilities …–assignment model. The GA searches for the optimal evacuation plan, while the simulation model guides the search through evaluating the … quality of the generated evacuation plans. Evacuees are assumed to receive evacuation instructions in terms of the optimal …

Animal dynamics based approach for modeling pedestrian crowd egress under panic conditions
Shiwakoti, Nirajan; Sarvi, Majid; Rose, Geoff; Burd, Martin - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 45 (2011) 9, pp. 1433-1449
Collective movement is important during emergencies such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks, when rapid egress is essential for escape. The development of quantitative theories and models to explain and predict the collective dynamics of pedestrians has been hindered by the lack of...
