儿童疏散是一个关键但具有挑战性的问题。遗憾的是，现有的研究未能有效地描述儿童疏散，这可能是由于缺乏实验和实证数据。本文以8-12岁儿童为研究对象，采用问卷调查的方法，研究了两出口教室疏散过程中儿童的路径选择行为。回收有效问卷173份，并对相关数据进行分析。统计结果表明：(1)位置、拥堵、群体行为和回溯行为对儿童疏散路径选择有显著影响；(2)年龄只影响儿童回溯行为；(3)性别和引导对儿童回溯行为没有显著影响。上述发现可能有助于工程师为儿童设计一些有效的疏散策略。(C)2017爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Children evacuation is a critical but challenging issue. Unfortunately, existing researches fail to effectively describe children evacuation, which is likely due to the lack of experimental and empirical data. In this paper, a questionnaire-based experiment was conducted with children aged 8-12 years to study children route choice behavior during evacuation from in a classroom with two exits. 173 effective questionnaires were collected and the corresponding data were analyzed. From the statistical results, we obtained the following findings: (1) position, congestion, group behavior, and backtracking behavior have significant effects on children route choice during evacuation; (2) age only affects children backtracking behavior, and (3) no prominent effects based on gender and guidance were observed. The above findings may help engineers design some effective evacuation strategies for children. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
