چکیده
With rising instances of extreme events and urban settlements, this paper outlines a pedestrian evacuation modeling framework using volunteered geographical information from OpenStreetMap and simplified queuing-network model to estimate evacuation time, detect bottlenecks and test different evacuation strategies. An example case of a total city wide evacuation is presented for a selection of UK cities with similar total road surface area. Evacuation times are presented for scenarios with and without intervention, where intervention implies that densities on roads are capped to enable maximum flow, highlighting the benefit of rapid evacuation time assessment to benchmark cities. c © 2014 The Authors.

Evacuation time estimate for total pedestrian evacuation using a queuing network model and volunteered geographic information.
Estimating city evacuation time is a nontrivial problem due to the interaction between thousands of individual agents, giving rise to various collective phenomena, such as bottleneck formation, intermittent flow, and stop-and-go waves. We present a mean field approach to draw relationships between road network spatial attributes, the number of evacuees, and the resultant evacuation time estimat...
متن کاملUsing Crowdsourced Geodata for Agent-Based Indoor Evacuation Simulations
Crowdsourced geodata has been proven to be a rich and major data source for environmental simulations and analysis, as well as the visualization of spatial phenomena. With the increasing size and complexity of public buildings, such as universities or hotels, there is also an increasing demand for information about indoor spaces. Trying to stimulate this growing demand, both researchers and Vol...
متن کاملRetrieve Volunteered Geographic Information for Forest Fire
The proposed contribution describes a methodology we are testing in the framework of an exploratory research project on the contribution of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) in the case-study of forest fires. The purpose of the research is to assess the value of VGI at different stages of a fire event. The first step of the methodology focuses on the retrieval of geographical information...
متن کاملModeling the Evacuation of Large-Scale Crowded Pedestrian Facilities
Most of these accidents occur as pedestrians try to evacuate the facility in panic mode. Thus, increasing attention has been given to planning for the evacuation of these facilities by considering of all possible emergencies. The objective is to minimize the period required to evacuate a facility while ensuring the safety of all pedestrians. Evaluation of the effectiveness of an evacuation plan...
متن کاملDynamic GIS Case Studies: Wildfire Evacuation and Volunteered Geographic Information
Incorporating the temporal element into traditional GIS is a challenge that has been researched for many years and has many proposed solutions. The implemented system “Extended Dynamic GIS” or EDGIS is based on the “geo-atom” and Space Time Point (STP). EDGIS provides a platform for spatiotemporal data representation, storage, and query in order to address the need for a dynamic GIS to manage c...
