Hoskins, Bryan L.
Study of Movement Speeds Down Stairs [electronic resource] / by Bryan L. Hoskins, James A. Milke. - XI, 70 p. 3 illus. online resource. - SpringerBriefs in Fire, 2193-6595 . - SpringerBriefs in Fire, .
Study Types -- Measurement Methods -- Additional Variables -- Summary -- Appendix A: Details of Previous Studies.
The Study of Movement Speeds Down Stairs closely examines forty-three unique case studies on movement patterns down stairwells. These studies include observations made during evacuation drills, others made during normal usage, interviews with people after fire evacuations, recommendations made from compiled studies, and detailed results from laboratory studies. The methodology used in each study for calculating density and movement speed, when known, are also presented, and this book identifies an additional seventeen variables linked to altering movement speeds. The Study of Movement Speeds Down Stairs is intended for researchers as a reference guide for evaluating pedestrian evacuation dynamics down stairwells. Practitioners working in a related field may also find this book invaluable.
