> 
> The session will describe an ongoing research program whose purpose is
> to evaluate (a) the effect of the current and proposed Americans with
> Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for the
> built-environment on the egress of individuals with disabilities
> during the mass pedestrian flows (MPFs) triggered by health-safety
> events, and (b) the effect of security-oriented design methods on the
> egress of individuals with disabilities during health-safety event
> triggered MPFs.  The objective of the project is to measure the
> emergent behaviors of heterogeneous sample populations of five
> representative built-environments (an airport, high school, conference
> center, multi-story office building, and secured federal development)
> during simulated health-safety events.  Agent-based simulations are
> used to measure these behaviors and their effect on individuals with
> disabilities.
