Staircase evacuation has always been a popular topic as today’s buildings are mostly dependent on the staircase for vertical transportation. This paper discussed the effect of open staircase position and width towards evacuation duration and distance. To simulate a real emergency situation, an experimental study needed to be conducted by using pathfinder software. Results show that increasing escape route width improves evacuation duration but the distance is much influence based on the positioning of the staircase in the building. The different staircase scenario has a significant influence on crowd dispersal. Future study can focus on various speed of the occupant to see how it will influence the crowd dispersal in a multi-storey building.
