Mathematical Models for Evacuation Planning in Urban Areas

Mathematical Models for Evacuation Planning in Urban Areas

Disasters like floods, hurricanes, chemical or nuclear accidents may cause the necessity to evacuate the affected area. The evacuation of  the urban area needs to be planned carefully. One issue is the reorganization of the traffic routing. Congested urban areas  have usually complex street networks...
