Guides boost evacuation speed: placing them far from exits cuts time. Dynamic guides work best in low visibility with higher distance‑ratio; static guides hit optimal performance at 40‑60% of platform length. #EmergencyPlanning #CrowdSafety

Cognition shapes evacuation in heritage districts: high‑cognitive people pick clear, fast routes; medium‑cognitive rely on visual cues, making local, redundant choices; low‑cognitive follow simple paths or others. Guides can be tiered for resilience.
