Experimental study investigates evacuation efficiency based on exit height and density conditions, suggesting design implications for emergencies.

This research aims to examine how varying exit height constraints and density conditions affect pedestrian evacuation efficiency during emergencies.
Conducted 18 experimental scenarios with varying exit heights (1.0 m to 2.0 m) and densities (10, 30, 50 individuals)
Analyzed time interval distribution and evacuation efficiency under different conditions
Investigated interactions between height constraints and density on evacuation dynamics.
Under high exit height constraints, evacuation efficiency is elevated with discrete time interval patterns
Mid-height constraints show collective mobility limitations and stable flow rates
Low height constraints lead to congestion and reduced evacuation efficiency.
