Abstract
In order to develop the algebraic equations or validate the models, data points need to be collected. Data can come from five different types of research. A study can look at behavior of general population on stairs during a fire drill, during normal use, or during a real fire; be a compilation of others’ research; or examine a controlled laboratory situation.
