Determining evacuation capability with biomechanical data

• Experimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed andimplemented in a prototype movement model. The prototype model is developed topredict movement of persons based on a first principle approach using basic populationdata such as age, height, gender and response time to adapt the walking speed in a crowd.The experimental data provide the biomechanical information needed in the model. Theintention with the new approach is to present a predictive capability for the future as aconsequence of the identified demographical changes observed in today's society.
