‘Rationality’ in Collective Escape Behaviour: Identifying Reference Points of Measurement at Micro and Macro Levels

Still images from the simulation setups 4, 5, and 6 (Images (a), (b), and (c), respectively). The three setups share the same type of geometry except for their widths of exits. In setups 1, 2, and 3 exit widths are, respectively, 150cm, 100cm, and 50cm. Therefore, they create evacuation scenarios in the same geometric layout and under three different levels of crowding.
