abstract = {When people are confronted with a spatial bottleneck, they
either follow the social norm of queuing or they start
pushing leading to a high density of persons per square
meter. Typical bottlenecks where pushing can occur are
entrance gates to concert areas. In a recent experiment, we
investigated the influence of the width of a corridor
leading straight to an entrance gate on the behavior of
participants. The corridor width was varied between 1.2 m
and 5.6 m while the entrance was 0.5 m wide. The main
question is whether there is a critical corridor width
limiting queuing behavior and facilitating a pushing
behavior. As participants, university students were
recruited directly after their lectures. Each group of
students had to perform two runs with the same corridor
width but different degrees of motivation. For high
motivation, the students had to imagine that they want to
enter a concert and only the first persons to enter will
have an undisturbed view of the stage. For low motivation,
they were told that all persons will be able to see the
stage.Our findings are mainly based on density and
waiting-time measurements. It is shown that wide corridors
and a high motivation facilitate a strong contraction
followed by a high density indicating a pushing behavior.
Narrow corridors and a low motivation lead to a medium
density rather indicating a queuing behavior.},
