TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - The Study on Safety Evaluation of Evacuation in a Large Supermarket JO - Procedia engineering A1 - Qiang, Liang A1 - Hong-yu, Jin SP - 273 EP - 279 VL - 11 IS - N2 - Supermarkets are typical crowded public places where the accident caused by evacuation congestion in any emergency event happened easily. In this paper, the number of customers, the ratio of personnel's age, the walking speed and other basic datas were obtained by present observation in a typical supermarket.
