Abstract
With the needs of emergency preparedness due to various disasters such as Hurricane, flooding, radiological accident, terrorist attack, toxic material leakage, etc., an efficient transportation evacuation plan such as contra-flow is very crucial. Simulation is a superior tool that can measure the effects of different plans, however often offers contradictory Measurement of Effectiveness (MOE), which may not directly yield out an optimal evacuation plan. In this paper, Fuzzy Logic is employed to evaluate the evacuation plan. A case study illustrates the entire evacuation process that evacuates contra-flow evacuation plans in a typical multi-institutional area: Texas Medical Center in Houston, USA.
