Abstract: Studies on egress time and spatio–temporal progression of pedestrians inside a hall are important for design of exits of halls. In this study experiments on evacuation from a hall are conducted to understand the impact of exits and the geometry of the flow space on pedestrian flow. The width of the door openings as well as number, shape, size and positioning of obstacles are varied to change the nature of the goals and the geometry of the flow space. Results from this study explain how evacuation time from an enclosed space varies with number of persons inside the flow space and nature of exits present in the flow space as well as geometry of the space. Results also show how pedestrians distribute themselves inside the flow space while evacuating due to the above mentioned variations in the flow space. These results may help in designing enclosed space geometry and exits.
