Access-To-Egress III: Repeated Measurement of Factors that Control the Emergency Evacuation of Passengers Through the Transport Airplane Type-III Overwing Exit

Abstract

Simulated emergency evacuations were conducted from a narrow-body transport airplane simulator through a Type-III overwing exit. The independent variables were passageway configuration, hatch disposal location, subject group size (density), and subject motivation level. Additional variables of interest included individual subject characteristics, i.e., gender, age, waist size, and height, shown in previous studies to significantly affect emergency egress. Subjects were restricted to those who had no previous emergency evacuation (research) history.
