Abstract

This paper describes network optimization-based modeling and solution frameworks for assessing pedestrian response to the physical layout of a venue’s ingress and egress routes during large public gatherings. These approaches support the movement of both individuals and groups. They exploit concepts of utility maximization and recognize that the utility of a route depends on both fixed route characteristics, such as length or grade, and characteristics that depend on the choices made by others who simultaneously seek passage along the same routes. Results of numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies and investigate the impact of groups on flow efficiency.
