Evacuation?
• “mass physical movements of people, of a contemporary nature, that collectively emerge in coping with community threats, damages, or disruptions”
by E. L. Quarantelli, founder of Disaster Research Center.

Strategies Against a Disaster
• Control of the threatening event itself• Control of human settlement patterns• Development of forecasting techniques and
warning systems that generate a protective response by those whose threatened

Types of Evacuations
• Voluntary• Recommended• Mandatory
The issue of such evacuation orders involve legal aspects heavily

Evacuation Modeling• 1970s first attempts mostly for hurricane evacuation• 1979, a milestone: Nuclear accident in Three Miles
island Evacuation studies focus on nuclear plant threats
• 1990s, emphasis is directed towards hurricanes again
• Recent Tsunamis and earthquakes in Asia brought the network connectivity issue into consideration
• What will happen to all those evacuated people? Shelter/supply location-allocation.

3 Critical Questions
• What is the clearance time required to get the hurricane-vulnerable population to safe shelter?
• Which roads should be selected?• What measures can be used to improve the
efficiency of the critical roadway segments?

Major Parameters Affecting Evacuation
Demand under Hurricane Conditions • Baker (1991) studies 12 hurricanes
from 1961 to 1989 in almost every state from Texas through Massachusetts. – Risk Level (Hazardousness) of the area– Actions by public authorities– Housing– Prior perception of personal risk– Storm specific threat factor

Emergencies and Disasters, Vol.9, No.2, 1991, pp 287-310

Evacuee Behavior
• Individual decision process consists– Whether to evacuate;– When to evacuate;– What to take;– How to travel;– Route of travel;– Where to go; and– When to return

Approaches for Determining Evacuation Demand
• Empirical, expertise based approaches
• Sigmoid response curves (S-Curves)
• Artificial Neural Network Models
• Hazard / Survival Models
• Logit Models

Demand Sensitivity Analysis
• Cell Transmission Based (CTM) System Optimal Dynamic Traffic Assignment (SO DTA) is used.
• Choice of demand model changes the evacuation performance measures significantly (e.g. Clearance Times, Average travel times).
• Even using simplistic S-Curve only , under Rapid-Medium-Slow response, the results change significantly.
• Demand loading scheme plays a very important role.

Stochastic Link Capacity Analysis
• Singlr demand profile S-Curve is used within CTM based SO DTA framework.
• Probabilistic link capacities are assigned to represent flooding, incidents etc. on the network during evacuation
• SO DTA formulation is extended with probabilistic capacity constraints and pLEP method proposed by Prekopa is used for solution.
• The network flows change considerably when probabilistic analysis is performed.
• The required capacity of the shelters also change with probabilistic assignment.

Summary of Important Findings
• The demand sensitivity analysis show that the choice of demand curves impact clearance and average travel times, especially in case of a link capacity reduction.
• The probabilistic SO DTA shows that overall network flows and the number of people arriving each shelter are mainly affected by the probability of link failures.
• The number of people in each shelter is the main component required for the determination of required supply (logistics) as well as the structural and operational aspects of these shelters.

Future Work
• Modify existing demand models based on available data to fit NJ facts.
• Run evacuation scenario using a micro-simulation model for comparison with the analytical results obtained from the SO-CTM model
• Extend the probabilistic link capacity analysis to include other stochasticities such as demand uncertainty.
• Test robustness of the results for a more accurate and real size network
