Experimental Study for Optimizing Pedestrian Flows at Bottlenecks of Subway Stations

Experimental Study for Optimizing Pedestrian Flows at Bottlenecks of Subway Stations

In subway stations, bottlenecks are the narrowed areas that reduce pedestrian flows in channels. Because pedestrians at bottlenecks are forced to dense together, bottlenecks decrease flow efficiency and pedestrians’ transfer comfort and may trigger serious crowd disasters such as trampling. This stu...
