CROWD FLOW OF EVACUEES PASSING THROUGH TICKET GATES OF RAILWAY STATIONS

避難時における鉄道駅改札口通過群集の通行部選択特性

Human subject experiments were conducted on the crowd flow of evacuees passing through a ticket gate at a railway station. The ticket gates at railway stations are typically narrow and therefore hinder the navigation of passengers through them during evacuation in the case of fire. In the experiment, 48 subjects passed through a ticket gate with 3 passages. The subjects approached the ticket gate from various start positions and went toward various goals. On the basis of the experimental results, the characteristics of evacuees' selection of one of the multiple passages of the ticket gate were elucidated and a calculation model was developed.
