Abstract
The quickest transshipment of the evacuees in an integrated evacuation network topology depends upon the evacuee arrival pattern in the collection network and their better assignment in the assignment network with appropriate traffic route guidance, destination optimization, and an optimal route. In this work, the quickest transshipment aspect in an integrated evacuation network topology is revisited concerning a transit-based evacuation system. Appropriate collection approaches for the evacuees and their better assignment to transit vehicles for their quickest transshipment in an embedded evacuation network are presented with their solution strategies.
Highlights
The problem with evacuation planning concerns the maximum number of evacuees being sent from sources to sinks in the minimum time and as efficiently as possible
The effectiveness of the solution of based evacuation planning problem (BEPP) depends upon the evacuee arrival patterns at the pickup locations and their appropriate assignment to transit vehicles available in the evacuation network [1,2,3]
We focus on the new and better-suited form of arrival pattern of evacuees in the earliest arrival flow pattern, which maximizes the arrival of evacuees at every possible instance at the pickup locations with zero transit times from a source
Summary
The problem with evacuation planning concerns the maximum number of evacuees being sent from sources to sinks in the minimum time and as efficiently as possible. The effectiveness of the solution of BEPP depends upon the evacuee arrival patterns at the pickup locations and their appropriate assignment to transit vehicles available in the evacuation network [1,2,3]. If there is only one bus depot, assuming that the bus collects the same number of people equal to its capacity, the author in [5] has proposed the BEPP for the evacuation of a region. Based on such BEPP, Pyakurel et al [6] explored it to be transit-dependent.
