A Brief Note on Bus Based Evacuation Planning

A case study on graph-based planning for emergency evacuation

We present a pilot study on the implementation of a software, based on declarative knowledge representation and logic-based automated planning, which assists the management of severe Chemical hazard events, e.g. fire or emissions that may require the evacuation of the area surrounding the affected Chemical plant. We model the geography, the road network and the population of the chemical plant ...

A Feeder-Bus Dispatch Planning Model for Emergency Evacuation in Urban Rail Transit Corridors

The mobility of modern metropolises strongly relies on urban rail transit (URT) systems, and such a heavy dependence causes that even minor service interruptions would make the URT systems unsustainable. This study aims at optimally dispatching the ground feeder-bus to coordinate with the urban rails' operation for eliminating the effect of unexpected service interruptions in URT corridors. A f...

A Conflict-Based Path-Generation Heuristic for Evacuation Planning

5 Evacuation planning and scheduling is a critical aspect of disaster management and national security applications. This paper proposes a conflict-based path-generation approach for evacuation planning. Its key idea is to decompose the evacuation planning problem into a master and a subproblem. The subproblem generates new evacuation paths for each evacuated area, while the master problem opti...

Survey on Using GIS in Evacuation Planning

Natural crises form a big threat on environment; these crises mean the loss of enterprises and individuals, and therefore losses in the sum total of community development. Management to these crises is required through a crisis management plan to control the crises before, during, and after the event. One of the most needed things to consider during preparing the crisis management plan is prepa...
