Pedestrians evacuation is a multi-agent system which composed of pedestrians with interaction. Usually, special flow of pedestrians’ evacuation occurs in emergency situation such as in case of fire. Interactions between pedestrians become more complicated, when all pedestrians moving towards a bottleneck area. The objective of this study was to examine the egress behavior of pedestrians during panic situation in a classroom environment. The results revealed that the pedestrians behave aggressively in order to evacuate themselves from the bottleneck area and different number of exit in the classroom gives different route choice during the evacuation process.
