The problem to be addressed in this paper is the lack of an advanced model in the literature
to locate the optimal set of intersections in the evacuation network for implementing …

It is well accepted in literature that the strategy of using crossing-elimination (or
uninterrupted-flow) intersections has the advantage over signals in expanding network …

In the conventional evacuation planning process, evacuees are assigned to fixed
destinations mainly on the basis of geographical proximity. However, the use of such …

Emergency evacuation in congested urban networks can be influenced by uncertain
background travel demands, but this issue has not been fully investigated. In this study …

This paper presents a two-level integrated optimization system for use in generating the
candidate set of optimal evacuation plans that serve as the input for simulation-based …

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 …

Two major sources of uncertainty in evacuation modeling are randomness in evacuation
demand and roadway capacity. This paper takes these two sources of uncertainty into …

In this study, we pose and analyze an evacuation network design problem to provide a
planning tool to help with high-level design decisions involved in strategic preparedness for …

In this paper, the optimal design and analysis of evacuation routes in transportation
networks is examined. An methodology for optimal egress route assignment is suggested …

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