WeAdrian, JulianeBoltes, MaikSieben, AnnaSeyfried, Armin present experimentsExperiments on the behaviour of participants in front of a bottleneckBottleneck. The waiting area was limited by a corridor of barriers leading straight to an entrance gate. We varied the width of the corridor and the degree of motivationMotivation of the participants to rush through the gate. We show that the density in front of the bottleneck grows with increasing corridor width and increasing motivation. Therefore, the velocity of individuals in the jam in front of the bottleneck is slower for wider corridors. Furthermore, it is shown that the flow through the bottleneckBottleneck is controlled by the bottleneck width itself but is independent from the corridor width. The degree of motivationMotivation has, however, an influence on the flow rate through the bottleneck.
