Abstract: Abstract Evacuation, the process of moving people out of potentially dangerous areas, is a key response to many threats. Planning such an evacuation is therefore important, especially in large-scale emergencies, where routing becomes non-trivial. This paper deals with the optimization and simulation of the evacuation process. We draw our data from the study of the city of Padang in Indonesia, with its high threat of tsunami waves.
