Microscopic Dynamics of Pedestrian Evacuation in Hypermarket

Numerous evacuation models are developed since decade ago in order to offer an appropriate design to estimate the required time for evacuating from a variety of places with various conditions. Thus, high traffic buildings found in governmental or industrial are essential to accurately evaluate the require time for evacuation process in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Thus, in order t...

Are People Risk Vulnerable?

The paper reports on a within-subject experiment, with substantial monetary incentives, designed to test wether or not people are risk-vulnerable. In the experiment, subjects face a simple portfolio choice problem in which they have to invest part of their wealth in a safe and a risky asset. We elicit risk vulnerability by observing each subject’s portfolio choice in two different contexts that...

Modelling the Evacuation of People from a Train on Fire in a Railway Tunnel

Fire safety of each structure consists in the creation of conditions for rapid and safe people evacuation, in the limitation of spread of fire and combustion products in the structure and the surroundings of the structure, and in the creation of conditions for rapid, effective and safe response actions of rescue units. In case of fire on a passenger train standing in a tunnel, a top priority ta...
