Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper considers a method for the definition of pedestrian escape routes by means of the simulation of pedestrian outflow. Feasible solutions are generated and compared in terms of evacuation time. In the proposed method an aggregate model for the estimation of evacuation time of a building is adopted. Such a method can be easily implemented and can be used to give a first evaluation of evacuation procedures without performing evacuation drills and can be used to give a fast response in identifying critical points on the network. To check the capabilities of the models used within the proposed approach, results obtained from simulations are compared with data recorded from an experiment on a test site conducted in a primary school located in an Italian town; an application consisting of designing escape routes for a school is also presented. © 2012 WIT Press.
