Abstract

In this research, we introduce a modified TASEP model with a bottleneck in order to model visitors’ behavior in a crowded aquarium, Kaiyukan in Japan, and to propose a congestion reduction method. It is distinct in that visitors walk through a fixed one-way aisle, as opposed to a typical museum or aquarium where visitors can move freely in an open space. Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, we investigated the basic congestion features caused by the bottleneck and developed new indicators to estimate congestion.
