Disabled people including wheelchair users have been going out into a society more actively. Then TRAIL (Transportation and Accessibility Law) came into effect in May 2000. Barrier-free passenger ships are going on increasing by those activities. Barrier-free passenger ships must maintain highly evacuation safety on board. One of items for evacuation safety on board is that wheelchair users and pedestrian passengers can move together to assembly spaces smoothly. We did experiments that a wheelchair user and 30 walkers escaped together through passenger ship corridor mock-up which length was 15m. The width of the corridor was 2m and 3m. We did 4 cases for doorways which width were 2m and 3m within the corridor which width was 5m. A video camera that was set 30m above the corridor recorded the behavior of the wheelchair user and the walkers. The wheelchair user and the 30walkers were able to move through the corridor without a decline in the evacuation speed with all conditions of the experiments. But conditions of both the wheelchair user and walkers influenced each other to their behavior. A kind mental state of the walkers had the wheelchair user feel at ease. The cases with the doorways which width of 2m showed a decline in the flow (persons/sec.) and its value was one to two persons/sec.
