The literature contains different procedures and specifications that show considerable differences with respect to the estimated flow values. Moreover, new experimental data indicate a stepwise growth of capacity with width and thus challenge the validity of the specific flow concept. To resolve these differences, we experimentally studied the unidirectional pedestrian flow through bottlenecks under laboratory conditions. The time development of quantities such as individual velocities, density, and individual time gaps in bottlenecks of different widths is presented. The data show a linear growth of flow with width. The comparison of the results with experimental data from other authors indicates that the basic assumption of the capacity estimation for bottlenecks has to be revised. In contrast to most planning guidelines, our main result is that a jam occurs even if the incoming flow does not overstep the capacity defined by the maximum flow according to the fundamental diagram. 000056454 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK411$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aScientific Computing$$cP41$$x0 000056454 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science 000056454 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000056454 65320 $$2Author$$apedestrian flow 000056454 65320 $$2Author$$atraffic flow 000056454 65320 $$2Author$$atraffic and crowd dynamics 000056454 65320 $$2Author$$acapacity of bottlenecks 000056454 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB49737$$aPasson, O.$$b1$$uFZJ 000056454 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)132269$$aSteffen, B.$$b2$$uFZJ 000056454 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)132064$$aBoltes, M.$$b3$$uFZJ 000056454 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aRupprecht, T.$$b4 000056454 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKlingsch, W.$$b5 000056454 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2015901-8$$a10.1287/trsc.1090.0263$$gVol. 43, p. 395 - 406$$p395 - 406$$q43<395 - 406$$tTransportation science$$v43$$x0041-1655$$y2009 000056454 8567_ $$uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1287/trsc.1090.0263 000056454 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:56454$$pVDB 000056454 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK411$$bSchlüsseltechnologien$$kP41$$lSupercomputing$$vScientific Computing$$x0 000056454 9141_ $$y2009 000056454 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000056454 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406$$gJSC$$kJSC$$lJülich Supercomputing Centre$$x0 000056454 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)88593 000056454 980__ $$aVDB 000056454 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000056454 980__ $$ajournal 000056454 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JSC-20090406 000056454 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
