      abstract     = {The choice of the exit to egress from a facility plays a
                      fundamental role in pedestrian modelling and simulation.
                      Yet, empirical evidence for backing up simulation is scarce.
                      In this contribution, we present three new groups of
                      experiments that we conducted in different geometries. We
                      varied parameters such as the width of the doors, the
                      initial location and number of pedestrians which in turn
                      affected their perception of the environment. We extracted
                      and analysed relevant indicators such as distance to the
                      exits and density levels. The results put in evidence the
                      fact that pedestrians use time-dependent information to
                      optimize their exit choice, and that, in congested states, a
                      load balancing over the exits occurs. We propose a minimal
                      modelling approach that covers those situations, especially
                      the cases where the geometry does not show a symmetrical
                      configuration. Most of the models try to achieve the load
                      balancing by simulating the system and solving optimization
                      problems. We show statistically and by simulation that a
                      linear model based on the distance to the exits and the
                      density levels around the exit can be an efficient dynamical
                      alternative.},
