Potential consequences of disasters involve overwhelming economic losses, large affected
populations and serious environmental damages. Given these devastating effects, there is …

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

Dynamic Traffic Assignment: A Primer is designed to help explain the basic concepts and
definitions of dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models and addresses the application …

This paper develops a scenario-based bilevel programming model to optimize the selection
of shelter locations with explicit consideration of a range of possible hurricane events and …

Given a transportation network having source nodes with evacuees and destination nodes,
we want to find a contraflow network configuration, ie, ideal direction for each edge, to …

This paper discusses a dynamic evacuation network optimization problem that incorporates
lane reversal and crossing elimination strategies. These two lane-based planning strategies …

Hurricanes result in large scale evacuations almost every year. Of particular concern and
difficulty is the decision of whether or not to evacuate hospitals in these emergencies. During …

The rise in natural and man‐made disasters in recent years has led to an increased interest
in emergency evacuation planning. Athough the vast majority of the existing evacuation …

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

The bridge network, as part of the critical civil infrastructure, is susceptible to natural and
man-made hazards. It is essential that the network retains its traffic-carrying capacity after a …
