Summary, in English

An investigation has been made with the purpose to obtain information about evacuation capacity of various escape routes.

As a result of the investigation a number of diagrams are presented showing the walking speed and people flow in stairs, through doorways and on a horizontal surface depending on the density of the people. Recommendations are given for desig purpose of different evacuation routes.
