abstract = {Emergency exits as bottlenecks in escape routes are
important for designing traffic facilities. Particularly,
the capacity estimation is a crucial performance criterion
for assessment of pedestrians’ safety in built
environments. For this reason, several studies were
performed during the last decades which focus on the
quantification of movement through corridors and
bottlenecks. These studies were usually conducted with
populations of homogeneous characteristics to reduce
influencing variables and for reasons of practicability.
Studies which consider heterogeneous characteristics in
performance parameters are rarely available. In response and
to reduce this lack of data a series of well-controlled
large-scale movement studies considering pedestrians using
different types of wheelchairs was carried out. As a result
it is shown that the empirical relations and are strongly
affected by the presence of participants with visible
disabilities (such as wheelchair users). We observed an
adaption of the overall movement speeds to the movement
speeds of participants using a wheelchair, even for low
densities and free flow scenarios. Flow and movement speed
are in a complex relation and do not depend on density only.
In our studies, the concept of specific flow fits for the
nondisabled subpopulation but it is not valid for scenario
considering wheelchair users in the population.},
