Title:

Study of the Network-Wide Impacts of Various Demand Generation Methods under Hurricane Evacuation Conditions

Abstract:

Demand generation and network loading models under hurricane evacuation conditions, which include more guided actions compared to unpredictable disasters, are crucial yet challenging components of evacuation studies. This study has two major goals: (1) conduct a comprehensive and critical review of demand generation and network loading models under hurricane conditions to understand advantages and disadvantages of available approaches, (2) assess network-wide impacts of these different demand generation and loading models using an analytical system optimal dynamic traffic assignment model.
