Bridging the gap : why we need to enhance current simulation models

By: Publication details: Borås : RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB, 2020Description: s. 390-395Subject(s): Online resources: In: Proceedings from the 9th International Conference on Pedestrian and Evacuation DynamicsAbstract: Many models that simulate evacuations are state of the art and provide realistic insight to their users. However, simulating everyday situations, such as visitor flow through a museum or passenger flow through an airport, presents marked challenges; existing models reach their limit here. This contribution will introduce and highlight the gap between existing egress models and the difficulties found simulating, for instance, passenger flow or capacity analysis.
