(color online) Escalator step features. (a) and (b) Step differences at bottom section and geometrical feature in middle section of typical escalator, and (c) escalator step space discretization in the model. Each cell has a size of 0.1 m.×0.1 m. Blue parts denote pedestrians, and pale pink boundaries represent escalator handrails.
