Abstract
The International Conference on Pedestrian and Evacuation Dynamics is carried out biennially by scientists and practitioners interested in pedestrian and evacuation dynamics. The field of pedestrian movement and evacuation dynamics is an inter and multidisciplinary field. The modelling of evacuation and pedestrian dynamics has evolved from calculations based entirely on physical processes such as granular flow to simulation that now begins to include psycho-social processes accounting for decision making and group behaviour. New developments in AI, augmented reality, gaming and 3D modelling are emerging topics in this field. Experimental works have evolved to consider sophisticated experiments to support new theories in this field. Accessibility and egressibility, and the relationship between them, has moved to the forefront of crowd dynamics. This is further complicated as a building is used according to a number of management concerns as safety, security and operations, that are employed under different scenarios such as emergency and non-emergency. The need for analysis to assess the effectiveness of management procedures is therefore significant and expanding.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
