Two network flow methods are presented in this paper to optimize a city emergency
evacuation plan. The problem is to assign each resident of the city to one of the places of …

With an increasing number of large-scale natural and man-created disasters over the last
decade, there is growing focus on the application of operations research techniques for …

Planning for emergency evacuation has evolved and matured substantially during the last
two decades. The significant rise in natural and man-made disasters in recent years created …

This study presents a comprehensive review of network-based large scale emergency
evacuation planning and management literature. Evacuation planning and management …

The population of an urban area may be in danger due to disasters like floods, hurricanes,
chemical or nuclear accidents. This requires decisions to protect the affected population …

The thesis discusses discrete-time dynamic flows over a finite time horizon T. These flows
take time, called travel time, to pass an arc of the network. Travel times, as well as other …

In the last decades, research on emergency traffic management has received high attention
from the operations research community and many pioneer researchers have established it …

In this paper, the design and analysis of evacuation routes in transportation networks in
cases of natural disasters is examined. A method for evacuation route planning in disaster …

Real life situations like floods, hurricanes or chemical accidents may cause the evacuation
of a certain area to rescue the affected population. To enable a fast and a safe evacuation a …

Most of the previous studies on the Emergency Evacuation Problem (EEP) assume that the
length and widths of the circulation spaces are fixed. This assumption is only true if one is …
