Crowd Evacuation Stability Based on Self-Organized Criticality Theory

Abstract:

In emergency, the crowd evacuation from public buildings is the most important issue to save human lives. Panic generation and spread normally can lead to the unstable state -stampede during the crowd motion. The stability of crowd evacuation is a complex problem being researched for decades. This paper introduces self-organized criticality(SOC) theory to build the mapping model from a collective crowd into a sand pile with SOC. Therefore, the complex problem of stability analysis for crowd evacuation is converted into sandpiper stability analysis in a relatively simpler way.
