Evacuation trials from a double-deck electric train unit: Experimental data and sensitivity analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Passenger trains represent a challenging environment in emergencies, with specific evacuation conditions resulting from the typical layout and interior design inherent to public transportation vehicles. This paper describes dataset obtained full-scale controlled experiment emulating emergency of double-deck electric unit railcar carried out Prague 2018. 15 trials involving 91 participants were conducted under various scenarios considering different compositions passenger crowd, exit widths, types (egress high platform, an open rail line using stairs, 750 mm jump without any supporting equipment). The study’s main goals collect experimental data on movement study impact boundary process total time. Movement characteristics (exit flows, speeds) human behaviour (pre-movement activities, exiting behaviours) also analysed. was used validate adjust Pathfinder model capture important aspects railcar. Furthermore, series simulations this performed provide sensitivity analysis influence crowd composition, width, type As key finding, we can conclude that for case standard path (platform or stairs) width had greatest time, however, composition played prevailing role jump.

A performance mo...
متن کاملElectric Power Exchanges with Sensitivity Matrices An Experimental Analysis
We describe a fast incremental method for power flows computation tailored for electric power markets. Fast in the sense that it can be used for real time power flows computation, and incremental in the sense that it computes any additional increase/decrease in line congestion caused by a particular (n-lateral) contract. Incremental methods offer a powerful way of dealing with congestion contin...

The present paper investigates the reliability and sensitivity analysis of a coal handling unit of a thermal power plant using a probabilistic approach. Coal handling unit is the main block of a thermal power plant and it is necessary for a good function of a power plant that its power supply, which is dealt in coal handling unit, must function continuously without any obstacle. The configurati...
