abstract = {To quantify the evacuation process, evacuation
practitioners use engineering egressdata describing the
occupant movement characteristics. These data are
typicallybased to young and fit populations. However, the
movement abilities of occupantswho might be involved in
evacuations are becoming more variable—with the
buildingpopulations of today typically including increasing
numbers of individuals: withimpairments or who are otherwise
elderly or generally less mobile. Thus, there willbe an
increasing proportion of building occupants with reduced
ability to egress. Forsafe evacuation, there is therefore a
need to provide valid engineering egress dataconsidering
pedestrians with disabilities. Gwynne and Boyce recently
compiled aseries of data sets related to the evacuation
process to support practitioner activitiesin the chapter
Engineering Data in the SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection
Engineering.This paper supplements these data sets by
providing information on and presentingdata obtained from
additional research related to the premovement and
horizontalmovement of participants with physical-,
cognitive-, or age-related disabilities. Theaim is to
provide an overview of currently available data sets related
to, and keyfactors affecting the egress performance of,
mixed ability populations which could beused to guide fire
safety engineering decisions in the context of building
design.},
