Quantitative analysis of the train unit evacuation
Original language description
A double-deck rail car egress experiment aiming to estimate the effects of exit type, exit width and structure of passengers on evacuation time was organized in cooperation with UCEEB FSv VUT. Almost 90 participants were divided into two groups: high school students created the homogeneous group, the heterogeneous group was mixed from young children, adults and elderly respecting the distribution observed in trains in the Czech Republic. The exit width varied from 0.65 m to 1.34 m and the exit type was changeable as well. Effect of the investigated parameters is following: Evacuation time decreases with the increasing exit width (30% difference between 0.65 m and 1.34 m), the homogeneous group of students evacuated faster than the standardized passengers sample and the egress to the platform is faster than using stairs to the terrain or jumping to the terrain. The detailed insight how exit width affects evacuation time is provided by time headways. In case of the narrow exit, the default time headway between pedestrians was 1 s that corresponds to the flow 1 ped/s, i.e. 1.54 ped/s/m. With increasing the width, the mean value of flow increased, but the default headway stayed. Surprisingly the higher flow was caused by increasing the frequency of the situation when two participants passed the door simultaneously.
