Abstract

AbstractThis work provides different urban evacuation models that are based on dynamic network flow models. The decision variables are the flow of the evacuees and the traffic routing. The dynamic network flow models are extended with complicating constraints and integer variables and the flow is restricted depending on the assigned of number of lanes. Hence, the capacities of the network are not known in advance, but depend on the number of lanes that determine the traffic routing for the case of an evacuation. The underlying network maps the street network in detail. Every access of an intersection is modeled by a node and every turning direction is included in the set of arcs.KeywordsStreet NetworkNetwork FlowSafe ZoneAssembly AreaEvacuation ModelThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
