Dynamic route choice in hurricane evacuation
… is developed for modeling route choice in hurricane evacuation. Two behavioral hypotheses are evaluated which together with the route choice model, constitute the contributions of the research. The first hypothesis states that beside congestion, other variables such as familiarity with the …

Evaluating Responses to Contraflow for Hurricane Evacuation
The very high travel demands associated with hurricane evacuations require some strategies, such as contraflow sections, to be included in hurricane evacuation plans. However, the response or reaction of the evacuees to these strategies has not been given much attention in the past. This study …

An Agent-based Travel Demand Model System for Hurricane Evacuation Simulation
… investigates the evacuees' behavior under hurricane evacuation conditions and develops an agent-based travel demand model system for hurricane evacuation simulation using these behavioral findings. The dissertation econometrically models several important evacuation decisions including …

An Integrated Agent-Based Microsimulation Model for Hurricane Evacuation in New Orleans
Mass evacuation of urban areas due to hurricanes is a critical problem that requires extensive basic and applied research. Knowing the accurate evacuation time needed for the entire region in advance such that the evacuation order can be issued on a timely basis is crucial for the officials. …

The Impact of Optimism On Evacuation Behavior In South Carolina Hurricane Evacuation Zones
… studying the impact of optimism on proactive evacuation behavior, perceptions of control, and coping skills. Optimism levels may not be the first indicator of a population at risk, but can help to validate specific populations that may not evacuate when necessary. Applying the optimism …

Development of a time-dependent, audio-visual, stated choice method of data collection for hurricane evacuation behavior
… preference 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 …

A Macroscopic Validation of the Evacuation Simulation Prediction Tool on Highway Travel Times
… study was to test the sensitivity of the Evacuation Simulation Prediction (ESP) tool in predicting travel time during high volume traffic periods. The discrete event-based simulation tool was designed to aid local evacuation planning contingencies. Research of the Florida Department of …

Predictive Modeling Of Sinkhole Hazards Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (Insar) Subsidence Measurements And Local Geology
… than 30 acres today, the sinkhole has forced the evacuation of approximately 350 local residents and threatens transportation on the nearby Highway 70 hurricane evacuation route. The sinkhole was caused by solution mining of a brine well (Oxy-Geismar Well 3), expanding the subterranean storage …

Characterization and Assessment of Transportation Diversity: Impacts on Mobility and Resilience Planning in Urban Communities
… with low transportation diversity are mainly in hurricane evacuation zones that are more vulnerable. Consequently, low transportation diversity in these areas could affect their post-disaster mobility. In the second study, the influence of transportation diversity on post-disaster mobility is …

Developing Microscopic Toll Plaza Model Using Paramics
… In case of the elimination of tolls during the hurricane evacuation, the throughput of the plaza increased significantly. Travel times for the vehicles coming through the plaza and going to different destinations decreased significantly, while it increased for vehicles using on-ramps, because of …
