The objectives of this study are (1) to develop an incident duration model which can account
for the spatial dependence of duration observations, and (2) to investigate the impacts of a …

Traffic incidents occurring during large-scale evacuations have been suspected of causing
potentially severe delays. Previous work using mesoscopic simulations suggested that while …

Many possible emergency conditions, including evacuations, negatively affect the urban
transportation system by substantially increasing the travel demand and/or reducing the …

The entry of evacuation traffic into a road network plays an important role in how efficiently a
threatened area will clear prior to the onset of hazardous conditions. Trip generation times …

This paper discusses the development and implementation of an evacuation demand
forecasting module that was incorporated into a comprehensive decision support system for …

Modeling emergency evacuations can help engineers, planners, and emergency managers
identify the approximate time it would take for evacuees to leave a disaster area …

Modeling and simulation of hurricane evacuation is an important task in emergency
planning and management. One typically ignored factor that affects the development of a …

Texas coastal areas are prone to hurricanes, which pose a threat to life, public safety, and
critical infrastructure. Mass evacuation can be ordered to relocate residents to safety areas …

Evacuation is an important measure in emergency planning, and agent-based simulation
model is an effective tool to test the reasonableness of the evacuation plans. This study …

Electric vehicles (EVs) may add new challenges during mass evacuations, both in the pre-
departure and post-departure stage of a mass evacuation. The objective of this research is …
