“…The absence of complete trajectories may overlook some key steps, for example, whether people would accelerate when they approach the gate area, where the exit is closer and the aisle is wider. (3) We did not consider several behaviors relevant with evacuation process like luggage retrieval [41,48] and small group behaviors [49]. (4) Participants in the experiment are kind of homogeneous.…”

Narrow seated spaces with multiple exits are prevalent structures in public buildings, underscoring the paramount importance of facilitating swift evacuation in such constrained environments. In this study, we first conducted evacuation experiments in a realistic narrow seated area. By manipulating different availability conditions for two exits located at the ends of the long aisle, we studied the effects of unpredictable exit failures, specifically, how the exit switch and explicit guidance influence the evacuation process. The movement characteristics are explored in several aspects, such as pre-evacuation time, aisle conflicts, speed, distance headway, evacuation time, and time lapse. We found that once people have encountered the exit failure condition, they would demonstrate enhanced preparedness in subsequent trials, leading to expedited exit switches. With explicit guidance, people would be less hesitant and move faster in the main aisle. The fine-grid cellular automata model is extended based on the experimental observations to verify its feasibility in simulating this process. Conflict resolution and turning behavior are incorporated for a more nuanced description. The effects of the exit switch are parameterized through the informed probability and the speed reduction.

“…Consideration of passengers and their luggage in the context of aircraft has generally centred on its impact on the speed and efficiency of the boarding process [9,10]. Where luggage is considered in connection with aircraft emergencies, it is generally in the context of training passengers [11], although some recent work [12,13,14] has considered its impact on evacuation.…”

“…The process of simulation construction and our results obtained highlighted some issues that are perhaps worthy of note. As previously mentioned, early iterations of the model increased the size of passengers carrying bags in order to make this more spatially realistic, as in, [14], but this caused significant problems with jamming (in reality, a passenger carrying a bag will be able to manoeuvre it as a separate object, but the simulation platform treats the passenger plus their bag as a single mass, which is much less flexible). One possible improvement to future simulation platforms may allow for coupled objects in order to capture situations such as this.…”

Recent reports of emergency aircraft evacuations have highlighted an increasing tendency amongst evacuees to ignore clear safety warnings and to collect and carry personal items of baggage during egress. However, relatively little work has so far been done on quantifying the impact of such behaviour on the evacuation process. In this paper, we report the results of validated simulation experiments (using the Boeing 777 wide-body aircraft), which confirm that even a relatively low level of baggage collection can significantly delay evacuation. Our platform provides one possible framework for the investigation of processes and mitigation tactics to minimise the impact of baggage collection behaviour in future.

“…Therefore, it can be seen that in the case of a surge in passenger flow, the average transfer time of passengers is greatly increased due to long queues, indicating that reducing the number of people queuing can significantly improve the efficiency of passenger transfers. Combining the problems identified in the previous section, the following recommendations [8][9][10] are proposed for the layout and organizational structure of the station during periods of high passenger flow.…”
