Ingress means entering and egress means leaving. Areas where people converge or change direction need attention, including stairs, turnstiles, gates and corridors.

What is being dealt with in advance

  • Route capacity over time (not only total area capacity).
  • Separation of counterflows of people.
  • Marking, navigation, "front management".
