Engineers, during the design phase of an infrastructure project, commonly take into account various considerations about the occupants and users, including (but not limited to): the number of occupants, the predicted demographic (and associated mobility), and any possible future changes. The purpose of this is to ensure a minimum quality of service, making the project easy for occupants to navigate, use, and exit. These considerations generally lead to rule-of-thumb calculations for design purposes [1], ensuring that the project is deemed fit for purpose. However, these calculations are by necessity high-level and fail to take account of specific human behaviors, or they may miss some of the variance in these behaviors. [Peer reviewed]
