Title:

Framework for Modeling Emergency Evacuation

Abstract:

This study investigated the relationships between a number of identifiable components that make up emergency evacuation, and how they can be integrated into a framework for modeling hurricane events. A framework for emergency evacuation was developed and tested on a selected site in the Central Florida region. It is safe to say that the INTEGRATION model has produced reasonalbe results and the developed framework can be expanded and applied to bigger urban areas.
