A simulation model based on temporal–spatial conflict and congestion for pedestrian–vehicle mixed evacuation has been investigated. Assuming certain spatial behaviors of individuals during emergency evacuation, a discrete particle swarm optimization with neighborhood learning factor algorithm has been proposed to solve this problem. The proposed algorithm introduces a neighborhood learning fact...

The field of dynamic vehicle routing and scheduling is growing at a fast pace nowadays, due to many potential applications in courier services, emergency services, truckload and less-than-truckload trucking, and many others.
