abstract = {Despite considerable research efforts, most controlled
empirical studies on crowd movement usually rely on
homogeneous crowds, i.e., research participants are
typically young adults without disabilities. Consequently,
relatively little is known about pedestrian movement in more
diverse and heterogeneous crowd conditions, e.g., when
persons with reduced mobility are present. This gap may be
particularly relevant at bottlenecks, along the path of a
moving crowd, that limit the capacity of pedestrian flow.
Here, we present results from 12 studies in which
participants (total N = 252) with and without visible
disabilities moved together in a crowd. In each study,
groups of participants walked together in a hallway with a
bottleneck at the end. The point of speed adoption,
distances between neighbours, and behavioural activities
were analysed. We found (1) that participants with
disabilities reduced their speed further away from the
bottleneck than participants without disabilities; (2)
participants without disabilities stayed closer to neighbors
with disabilities than to neighbors without disabilities;
and (3) participants interacted and communicated with each
other to organise in front of the bottleneck. These results
underline the importance of studying representative and
heterogeneous samples in crowd dynamics. We also argue that
more interdisciplinary research is needed to better
understand the dynamics of interactions between neighbors in
a crowd. A more nuanced understanding of pedestrian dynamics
holds the promise of improving the validity of simulation
tools such as movement and evacuation models.},
