Room evacuation through two contiguous exits
Current regulations demand that at least two exits should be available for a safe evacuation during a panic situation. The second exit is expected to reduce the overall clogging, and consequently, improve the evacuation time. However, rooms having contiguous doors not always reduce the leaving time...
