Abstract

Training schools widely exist in China and congestion occurs during the pickup period. However, most researches focus on investigating the pedestrian flow in classroom. In this paper, we study the adult–child matching behavior and each pedestrian’s motion (including child and adult) at a training school during the pickup period. Based on the scenario at the training school, and the features of children’s and adults’ motions, we design three strategies to describe the adult–child matching behavior, and then incorporate the matching behavior into a CA (cellular automaton) model and propose an extended CA model to study each pedestrian’s motion under each strategy during the pickup period. The numerical results indicate that each strategy has great effects on the matching behavior and the evacuation efficiency during the pickup period. The results can help administrators to design effective evacuation strategy at training school during the pickup period (especially when an emergency occurs).
