“…In addition, according to the interviews in [36], stairs are a significant constraint, especially in evacuation situations. Furthermore, Jiang et al [37] experimentally confirmed that the widths of passages and stairs influence the mobility of people with mobility impairment. In [38], an experimental study was performed and it was found that the mobility of PWD was affected by the characteristics of doors such as the width of opening.…”

The increasing complexity of modern buildings has challenged the mobility of people with disabilities (PWD) in the indoor environment. To help overcome this problem, this paper proposes a data model that can be easily applied to indoor spatial information services for people with disabilities. In the proposed model, features are defined based on relevant regulations that stipulate significant mobility factors for people with disabilities. To validate the model’s capability to describe the indoor spaces in terms that are relevant to people with mobility disabilities, the model was used to generate data in a path planning application, considering two different cases in a shopping mall. The application confirmed that routes for people with mobility disabilities are significantly different from those of ordinary pedestrians, in a way that reflects features and attributes defined in the proposed data model. The latter can be inserted as an IndoorGML extension, and is thus expected to facilitate relevant data generation for the design of various services for people with disabilities.

Abstract-The primary goal of mass evacuation in urban underground passages or subways is to evacuate as many evacuees as possible to safe areas in the shortest time when emergency events occur. This paper chooses the underground passages of one subway station in Beijing as research object, and uses a study method which combines by sites investigation, field test and computer simulation of the buildingEXODUS software. We present a depth analysis of the related factors which include the number and width of passage, channelization setting and the number of pedestrians with the evacuation time. And the influential effect of public opinion is explained by using big data technology. In addition, pedestrians evacuation condition are recorded in three evacuation period, the morning peak, common and evening peak by the observation and statistic obtained with video, and build the model to simulate the change of evacuation time with pedestrians. So it reveals when the number of pedestrians gets reach to more than 200, evacuation time increases significantly and the field experiment and simulation condition are consistent basically 1 .

“…The more increase of the demand of the number of evacuated pedestrians, and the higher congestion in the passage, results in a decline in the efficiency of the pedestrian evacuation, especially when the number of pedestrians gets reach to more than 200, evacuation time increases significantly. Besides, the impaired disabled are also led to a decline of the evacuation efficiency [13]. So the related management departments should strengthen control of the number of pedestrians in passages in order to reduce the accident interference in the process of evacuation.…”

The primary goal of crowd evacuation in urban underground passages or subways is to evacuate as many evacuees as possible to safe areas in the shortest time when emergency events occur. This paper chooses the underground passages of one metro in Istanbul, Turkey as research object, and uses a study method which combines by sites investigation, field test and computer simulation of the creating new software. It is called Building Evacuate Module software. We present a depth analysis of the related factors which include the number and width of passage, channelization setting and the number of pedestrians with the evacuation time. And the influential effect of public opinion is explained by using big data technology. In addition, pedestrians evacuation condition are recorded in three evacuation period, the morning peak, common and evening peak by the observation and statistic obtained with video, and build the model to simulate the change of evacuation time with pedestrians. So it reveals when the number of pedestrians reaches to more than 200, evacuation time increases significantly and the field experiment and simulation condition are consistent basically.
