WeYanagisawa, DaichiHaghani, MiladSarvi, Majid studied exit-choice behaviorExit-choice behavior in an L-shaped corridor, which included two exits. In the experiments, it was observed that more than half of the evacuees chose the farther exit. The fraction of evacuees choosing the farther exit was larger in the running scenarios than in the walking scenarios. To investigate the significant factors of the exit-choice behaviorExit-choice behavior, we conducted simulations by the floor-field cellular-automataCellular automata model, which included the effects of herding, avoidance of exit crowding, and inertiaInertia. Only the inertia effect succeeded to reproduce the experimental results, i.e., when the inertia effect increased, the fraction of choosing the farther exit increased and finally exceeded 50%. The results of the experiments and simulations correspond well with each other if we consider the relation between the speed and inertia. Hence, our results indicate that the inertia effect is one of the important factors in the exit-choice behaviorExit-choice behavior in the L-shaped corridor.
