A simulation model of pedestrian flow is introduced based on Mixed Logical Dynamical (MLD) system approach. Typical phenomena in the evacuation flow are generated with the proposed model and, further, it is verified that improved outflows can be reached by obstacles placed asymmetrically in front of the exits. The feature of the congestion in the evacuation is also discussed in terms of the flow coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
