Behavioral evolutions for the three scenarios under study. Each column corresponds to a scenario. For each scenario, the total population on each node is represented on the first line of the figure. Each of the other lines represents a node in the network. For each node of the network, the number of individuals in daily, alert, panic, control and pseudo-daily behaviors are represented. The evacuation of the first node towards the larger staircase of the third scenario is faster than the one via the narrow spiral footbridge of the first and second scenarios. In the second scenario many people are already present in node 3 at the beginning of the event. It yields a persistence of panic and a bottleneck in node 2, and the development of a panic situation in node 3. This is different to what happens in the scenarios 1 and 3 where in the refuge node 3 we have a majority of people in a controlled behavior. All the system parameters are set as in Tables 4, 5 and 6
