摘要
A discrete optimum mathematical model to derive the 'maximum capacity' of people in a room or in a space used for public gatherings is developed. There are two outcomes in the model. One is focused on whether the person farthest from exits can escape from the room. The other concentrates on the evacuation time of all the people in the room. According to the results of the two outcomes, a more reasonable 'maximum capacity' can be worked out in a simple way.
