abstract = {Capacity estimation is an important tool for the design and
dimensioning of pedestrian facilities. 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.},
