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...

Current regulations demand that at least two exits should be available for a safe evacuation during a panic situation.

We found that there exists a separation distance range that does not really improve the evacuation time, or it can even worsen the process performance.
