Large-Scale Evacuation: The Analysis, Modeling, and Management of Emergency Relocation from Hazardous Areas
Autor Michael K. Lindell, Pamela Murray-Tuite, Brian Wolshon, Earl J. Bakeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2018
The text explains how to model evacuations that use the road transportation network by combining perspectives from social scientists and transportation engineers, fields that have commonly approached evacuation modelling from distinctly different perspectives. In doing so, it offers a step-by-step guide through the key questions needed to model an evacuation and its impacts to the evacuation route system as well as evacuation management strategies for influencing demand and expanding capacity. The authors also demonstrate how to simulate the resulting traffic and evacuation management strategies that can be used to facilitate evacuee movement and reduce unnecessary demand. Case studies, which identify key points to analyze in an evacuation plan, discuss evacuation termination and re-entry, and highlight challenges that someone developing an evacuation plan or model should expect, are also included.
This textbook will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and advanced students.

Descriere
This book will introduce the reader to the steps involved in evacuation modelling for towns and cities, from understanding the hazards that can require large-scale evacuations, through understanding how local officials decide to issue evacuation advisories. This book will be of interest researchers, practitioners, and advanced students.
