Emergency Evacuation Modeling with Consideration of Fairness
… happens, the demand for available emergency evacuation resources increases considerably and lack of a proper emergency evacuation planning and resource management may lead to an increase in the severity of damages and fatalities resulted from the hazard. Among the three main modes of …

CyberGIS-enabled reproducible agent-based modeling for scalable emergency evacuation
… for studying the complexity of emergency evacuation. However, due to the high computational intensity that increases dramatically with regard to evacuation area size and the number of people to be evacuated, agent-based evacuation models are typically applied to relatively small areas and …

Development of a time-dependent, audio-visual, stated choice method of data collection for hurricane evacuation behavior
… is the traditional method to collect hurricane evacuation behavior data. However, revealed preference surveys, as they are currently administered, have the disadvantage that they are unable to collect time-sensitive and policy-sensitive data needed to test evacuation policies. In contrast, data …

Optimal Evacuation Plans for Network Flows over Time Considering Congestion
This dissertation seeks to advance the modeling of network flows over time for the purposes of improving evacuation planning. The devastation created by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita along the Gulf Coast of the United States in 2005 have recently emphasized the need to improve evacuation modeling and …

Comparison of Microscopic and Mesoscopic Traffic Modeling Tools for Evacuation Analysis
Evacuation processes can be evaluated using different simulation models. However, recently, microscopic simulation models have become a more popular tool for this purpose. The objectives of this study are to model multiple evacuation scenarios and to compare the INTEGRATION microscopic traffic …

Analysis and Evaluation of Household Pick-up and Gathering Behavior in No-Notice Evacuations
… with transportation simulation models of evacuation conditions. As shown through this work, such omissions generate overly optimistic network performance. Acknowledging the behavior also leads to potential network improvements by moving dependents (people being picked up by other household …

The use of numerical optimisation techniques in computational fire engineering models: a study through evacuation modelling analyses
Evacuation models have been playing an important function in the transition process from prescriptive fire safety codes to performance-based ones over the last three decades. In fact, such models became also useful tools in different tasks within fire safety engineering field, such as fire risks …
