Abstract
Pedestrian evacuation in a single room is studied using a modified model based on classic social force model. This paper focuses on the influence of desired velocity distribution and herd effect on evacuation. It is shown that crowd with mixed velocities of larger proportion of higher speeds is more efficient to escape. And in situations with limited field of vision, a certain mixture of individualistic and herding behaviors is good for evacuation.
