To consider the sites of experimental research at universities, it is an important proposition to design rationally while ensuring work efficiency and safety. In this study, we performed flow line analysis with the application of a simulation created based on the results of subject experiment to obtain basic knowledge for rational laboratory planning. From the subject experiments, the probabilities of route selection were obtained, and the effects of human presence and aisle width on route selection were also quantitatively analyzed.
Based on the results of these experiments, a simulation was established to reproduce the flow lines in the laboratory, and the effects of the number of people in the laboratory, the location of work and common areas, and the width and location of narrowed aisles on the frequency of human contact between experimenters were discussed. The obtained results are expected not only to provide suggestive insights for ergonomic planning laboratories with high work efficiency but also to contribute for preventing unintentional exposure to chemicals and viral infections caused by human movement.
