TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Density, velocity and flow relationships for closely packed crowds JO - Safety science A1 - Smith, R. A. SP - 321 EP - 327 VL - 18 IS - 4 N2 - Work undertaken to quantify the relationships between crowd velocities, flow rates and densities for uni-directional motion is reviewed. Most of the available data has been generated for underground stations in the UK; similar work for commuter stations in Japan is introduced and developed. Maximum observed flow rates from this work are compared with those suggested in the 'Green Guide' for the evacuation of sports grounds. The 'Green Guide' figures are higher than the maximum values obtained from the work reviewed.
