Temporal-Spatial Analysis of Emergency Evacuation Traffic
<p>Mass evacuations, particularly those at a statewide level, represent the largest single-event traffic movements that exist. These complex events can last several days, cover thousands of miles of roadway, and include hundreds of thousands of people and vehicles. Often, they are also marked by …

Emergency Evacuation Modeling with Consideration of Fairness
… a disaster 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 …

Emergency evacuation around nuclear power stations: a systems approach
Prior to this work, MASSVAC (MASS eVACuation) had evolved as a micro-computer simulation model for analysis and evaluation of areas facing natural disasters (hurricanes and floods). Conceptual and technical enhancements have been made to procedures within MASSVAC to deal with the special problems …

Heuristic Prioritization Of Emergency Evacuation Staging To Reduce Clearance Time
A region's evacuation strategy encompasses a variety of areas and needs. Primary among these is the minimization of total evacuation time, represented in models as the clearance time estimate (CTE). A generic testbed simulation network model was developed. An input/output (I/O) analysis was …

CyberGIS-enabled reproducible agent-based modeling for scalable emergency evacuation
… methodology 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 …

Simulating traffic flow for emergency evacuation in Manhattan, KS using Rockwell ARENA
… for evacuating the city in the event of an emergency. It should be noted that while NBAF is a large concern for this report, risk management is important in other scenarios as well, such as natural disasters or chemical spills, and this information can be applied to such events. This paper …

The Effects of Carry-on Baggage on Aircraft Evacuation Efficiency
<p>The most frequent obstacle of an aircraft evacuation is the passengers carrying baggage while evacuating. Passengers who insist on taking their carry-on baggage during an emergency evacuation not only slow down the evacuation process but also act as a significant risk to the safety of other …

Simulation modelling of spatial problems
… is applied in both models. The first models the emergency evacuation of a building, using a graph structure to represent the spatial components. This is implemented using object-oriented code and test runs are compared with evacuation times from a building at the University of North London. The …
