A network flow model for lane-based evacuation routing

摘要: Most traffic delays in regional evacuations occur at intersections. Lane-based routing is one strategy for reducing these delays. This paper presents a network flow model identifying optimal lane-based evacuation plans complex road network. The an integer extension of the minimum-cost problem. It can be used to generate that trade total vehicle travel-distance against merging, while preventing crossing-conflicts A mixed-integer programming solver derive sample Manual capacity analysis and microscopic simulation are compare relative efficiency plans.
