      abstract     = {Individual differences in mobility (e.g., due to wheelchair
                      use) are often ignored in the prediction of crowd movement.
                      Consequently, engineering tools cannot fully describe the
                      impact of vulnerable populations on egress performance. To
                      contribute to closing this gap, we performed laboratory
                      experiments with 25 pedestrians with varying mobility
                      profiles. The control condition comprised only participants
                      without any additional equipment; in the luggage condition
                      and the wheelchair condition, two participants at the center
                      of the group either carried suitcases or used a wheelchair.
                      We found that individuals using wheelchairs and to a lesser
                      degree those carrying luggage needed longer to pass through
                      the bottleneck, which also affected those walking behind
                      them. This led to slower times to fully clear the bottleneck
                      in the wheelchair and luggage condition compared to the
                      control group. The results challenge the status quo in
                      existing approaches to calculating egress performance and
                      other key performance metrics in crowd dynamics.},
