“…The findings of this study are slightly higher than [27] and much higher compared to [28]. However, Rienne et al [27] observed walking speed in building evacuation drill, and [28] observed walking speed at a crosswalk as a representation of walking speed during a tsunami evacuation.…”

“…The previous study suggested that the maximum walking speed varies by age and gender, but none of the studies examined the effect of walking duration or walking distance and the complexity of the route [28]; [29]. Therefore, in this study, in addition to age and gender, it was hypothesized that the maximum walking speed would be influenced by the duration of the walk and the complexity of the route.…”

“…Abustan [28] recorded the average walking speed by observing people crossing at a crosswalk area and used his findings as a parameter in simulating a tsunami evacuation. The study found that the average walking speed of Malaysian is 1.16 m/s.…”

This paper aims to identify factors influencing the walking speed of evacuees by conducting an evacuation drill in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. A number of 18 volunteers and 6 observers, were gathered in an evacuation experiment on 3 routes with 5 segments each. The chosen routes are almost equal in terms of distance, but different in terms of the number of turning points. The experiment comprises of three cases in terms of the complexity of the route. These cases represent a simple, a medium and a complex route based on the number of turning points. The volunteers were asked to move, as if in an evacuation, to a particular place which was assumed to be a shelter. The observers were placed at some particular waypoints to record the time when an evacuee passes their location. The distance between the observers was measured using a manual distance meter. This study found that the average walking speed during the evacuation was 1.69 m/s. In addition, walking speed varied by age, gender, and walking distance. This finding significantly has an effect on the estimations of the coverage area of tsunami shelters. The data collection method is one of the novelties of this research. In this study, the walking speed was observed through an evacuation drill from a location to a shelter of 1.5 km away, whilst most of the previous studies estimate the walking speed based on an observation of a group of pedestrians crossing a road.

“…Human behaviour is based on individual's decision [7]. The survival aspect in human behaviour is the actions that people take based upon their perception of the situation, their intention to act, and the considerations involved before these actions are carried out [1]. In evacuation situation that caused by fires, the main reason to put into consideration is either the victims are having too much or too little information and Abstract: This research focuses on the demonstration of the evacuation simulation as if emergency situation is occurred at Dewan Sultan Ibrahim (DSI) of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) from the perspective of microscopic dynamics of crowd behaviour.…”

“…In this study, the method used was microscopic modelling. According to available literatures, microscopic model is more accurate in predicting the crowd dynamics [1]. However, as a result of the high level of detail, microscopic simulation models tend to have long computation times [2].…”
