Ethical Approval: Granted by Science and Engineering Faculty Ethics Committee
Type of research: Experiments simulating low-risk evacuations and a short questionnaire
Data collection period: Until 22 March 2013

Additional information: We are planning to simulate low-risk evacuations with groups of volunteers.  Experiments will be conducted indoors on the Colchester campus of the University of Essex.  In a number of tasks you will have to react to a visual signal and leave a furnished or unfurnished area through a previously specified exit.  You will also be asked to complete a short questionnaire.  Participants should be healthy and physically unimpaired men or women who are at least 18 years old and have not previously participated.  For further information and to sign up please visit http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~nbode/IREVinput.html.
