abstract = {Evaluation of evacuation process is common separated by two
phases: pre-movement and movement-phase. Individual
capabilities of pedestrians have an impact on both and
therefore on the time required for safe escape. In view of
evaluating the evacuation process, characteristics of
realistic movements of pedestrians involved are needed, but
so far such data are mainly available for individuals with
unrestricted evacuation capabilities only.Due to the lack of
available data, parameter studies in an assisted living for
people with disabilities were performed to explore the
movement during evacuation. Preparation times for assistance
(n=10), unimpeded walking speeds (n=34) depending on the
assistance devices in the plane as well as walking speeds on
stairs (n=11) were focussed.Time to prepare an assistance
device for utilisation depends significantly on the kind of
device type. Further on, practical experience in handling
the devices for assistance has an impact on the preparation
time. In contrast to the results of the preparation times,
any relation on assistance devices were investigated for the
unimpeded walking speed in the plane. A remarkable decrease
of walking speed on stairs was observed which is independent
from the utilised assistance device.The presented data
improve and extend the insufficient engineering data base
and raised up questions regarding the complexity of
considering pedestrians movement with impairments in
evacuation planning.},
