New Insights into Pedestrian Flow Through Bottlenecks
Capacity estimation is an important tool for the design and dimensioning of pedestrian facilities. The literature contains different procedures and specifications which show considerable differences with respect to the estimated flow values. Moreover do new experimental data indicate a stepwise growing of the capacity with the width and thus challenge the validity of the specific flow concept. ...
متن کاملEmpirical Data for Pedestrian Flow Through Bottlenecks
Summa r'y. The number of models for pedestr ian dynamics has grown in the pa.st years, but the experimental data to discriminate between these models is still to a large extent unce rtain and contradictory. To enhance the data base a nd to resolve some discrepancies discussed in the literature over one hundred yean; wc studied the pedestr ian flow through bottlenecks by an experiment performed ...
متن کاملTraveled distances: New insights into the role of optic flow
In this study, we addressed four related issues concerning the estimation of traveled distances in a distance-matching visual task, using a virtual reality (VR) setup. Firstly, we found that when explicit counting strategies were blocked by an interfering dual task, the performance of 35% of subjects was strongly impaired. Secondly, we found that, when encoding and test phases took place in sim...
متن کاملNew insights into ocular blood flow at very high altitudes.
Little is known about the ocular and cerebral blood flow during exposure to increasingly hypoxic conditions at high altitudes. There is evidence that an increase in cerebral blood flow resulting from altered autoregulation constitutes a risk factor for acute mountain sickness (AMS) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) by leading to capillary overperfusion and vasogenic cerebral edema. The re...
متن کاملNew insights of an energy flow visualization into vehicle design
In order to improve the product quality and to reduce the time-to-market in the vehicle development process, the use of new design tools is of fundamental importance. Providing additional insights in the structural response of the vehicle structure can lead to better understanding and subsequent improvement of the functional performance in terms of noise and vibration. An example is the use of ...
