Oinezkoen simulazioak giza indarraren ereduaren bidez: larrialdi-egoerak

Abstract

Pedestrian areas such as underground stations or shopping centres are more often than not overcrowded. In case of emergency, the safety of pedestrians is called into question. As a matter of fact, the analysis of pedestrian flows is highly meaningful. This study is developed following the Social Force Model, a perspective on modelling of crowd dynamics and pedestrian motion. The mathematical formulation, fields of applications, limits and the relation with experimental data have been considered. Moreover, a simulated evacuation of a single-exit room has been analysed, together with the influence of obstacles in the event of an emergency evacuation procedure. It has been proven that placing a wall or a column with special features can help reducing the evacuation time because the obstacles tend to organize the flow. In addition replacing a long wall by a row of columns or small walls can even improve the results.
