Most traffic delays in regional evacuations occur at intersections. Lane-based routing is one
strategy for reducing these delays. This paper presents a network flow model for identifying …

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 …

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 …

This paper describes NETVACl, a model for simulating the traffic pattern during an
emergency evacuation. The development of the model has been motivated by the need to …

Evacuation planning and scheduling is a critical aspect of disaster management and
national security applications. This paper proposes a conflict-based path-generation …

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 …

An evacuation model that explicitly accounts for observed household interactions is
presented. A series of linear integer programs determines household decisions of where its …

Evacuations necessitated by extreme events are usually envisioned as taking place with all
people evacuating simultaneously; this leads to premature congestion on the surface streets …

Conventional emergency evacuation plans often assign evacuees to fixed routes or
destinations based mainly on geographic proximity. Such approaches can be inefficient if …

This paper formulates and solves a lane-based evacuation network optimization problem
that integrates lane reversal and crossing elimination strategies. To tackle the combinatorial …
