When was crowd management established as a discipline?
Ancient Roman Empire
Egyptian civilisation
20th Century
What aspect the ancient civilisation did not consider when evacuating buildings?
Evacuation time
Safety
Well-being/ health
The Colosseum had a circulation system of 80 entrance arches, corridors, and staircases that can evacuate 50,000-80,000 people within ----- minutes
(a)
Why did the Colosseum beat the Bird's Nest in terms of evacuation time? (Tick all that apply)
The Bird's Nest is complex architecturally.
The Bird's Nest is safer to evacuate.
The concourses behind the seats in the Colosseum are better for evacuation.
There are two branches of Crowd management/ science: Crowd psychology & behaviour and crowd dynamics.
True
False
Crowd psychology behaviour is the study of crowd behaviour effect on certain psychological theories (e.g., personality).
True
False
What aspects does the crowd dynamics branch NOT look at?
Crowd Formation
Crowd Displacement
Crowd Emotions

Awareness, delay, pre-movement, and evacuation
What possible sources can be used to validate the outcome of your evacuation simulation?
Codes/regulations
Fire drills
Literature
Your experience

True
False
Maybe
