abstract = {Restrictions of pedestrian flow could be triggered by
directional changes, merging of streams and other changes or
disturbances causing effects similar to bottlenecks given by
geometrical narrowings. In this contribution we analyze
empirically how the types of the changes or disturbances
influence the capacity of a facility. For this purpose four
types of facilities including a short narrowing, a long
narrowing, a corner and a T-junction are investigated. It is
found that the reduction of pedestrian flow depends on the
shape and the length of the narrowing. The maximum observed
flow of the corner (about 1.45 (m s)-1) is the lowest in all
facilities studied, whereas that of the short narrowing is
highest. The finding indicates that the usage of an unique
fundamental diagram for the description of pedestrian flow
at different kind of geometrical narrowings is limited.},
