Simulation Application for Emergency Evacuation Management on Open Street Networks

Xiaoru Shi

Cost-efficient and secure evacuation in open street networks are crucial during unpredicted emergency events. To plan for the best utilization of limited safe space and road capacity during evacuations, comprehensive and flexible simulation software is needed to enable user-designed simulation models that analyze a given evacuation plan’s effectiveness, considering different behavior and moving object interactions. This research conducts a case study with the campus of Penn State University in University Park to test this software.
