Evacuation in high-rise buildings has attracted a lot of researchers to study human performance during evacuation process especially since the “911” disaster. However, there is little research studying the effect of initial distribution ratios among the different floors and the impact of sub-optimal illumination on merging behaviors between different pedestrian flows. In this paper, some experiments...
In the process of pedestrians’ evacuation from buildings, when an exit consists of two same-sized doors, with the same travel distance requirements, would the usage of doors be optimized by pedestrians?
