Abstract:
In this study, we pose and analyze an evacuation network design problem to provide a planning tool to help with high-level design decisions involved in strategic preparedness for large scale evacuations. In doing so, while incorporating evacuation time considerations, we also take a cost perspective in designing an effective evacuation network. Both the network design and the associated cost considerations in evacuation planning are commonly ignored in the literature due to a focus on evacuation time and the associated flow routing objective.
