In this chapter we apply the CR model to describe the evacuation of a corridor through an exit when panic arises. Two different situations are considered: first when the space between the pedestrians and the exit is free, then when before the exit there is a further door, through which the pedestrians have to move. According with empirical observations, the CR model confirms that placing such a door may reduce the time necessary for the evacuation. This displays the ability of the CR model to reproduce the so called Braess’ paradox for pedestrian flows.
