abstract = {The importance of empirical relations to quantify the
movement of pedestrians through a facility has increased
during the last decades since performance‐based design
methods became more common. Bottlenecks are of special
interest because of their importance for egress routes and
as they result in a reduced capacity. The empirical
relations as the density‐dependent movement speed or flow
rate were derived by studies under laboratory conditions,
which were usually conducted with populations of homogeneous
characteristics for better control of influencing variables.
If individual characteristics of a crowd become more
heterogeneous, individuals were forced to adapt their
individual movement and control individual manoeuvring.
These unintended interactions lead to a different shape of
the fundamental empirical relations. Here, we present
results from a movement study under well‐controlled
boundary conditions in which participants with and without
different characteristics of disabilities participated. To
consider the effect of different heterogeneities on the
capacity of a facility, fundamental diagrams are generated
using the Voronoi method. If participants with visible
disabilities (such as using assistive devices) are part of a
crowd, significant differences relating to the shape of the
empirical relations and the capacities are found. This
indicates that the heterogeneity of a population leads to an
increased interpersonal interaction which results in
influenced movement characteristics.},
