Why Evacuation Routing?• Sudden, massive traffic creates hazard concerns• Cities, events, office buildings, and hazardous facilities are federally mandated
to have an evacuation plan on record• An efficient “what-if?” system is not currently available
Office for Technology Commercialization 20
Evacuation Routing Issues
• Catastrophic events require immediate strategic action.
• Planning and real-time evacuation action for highly-specific locations is not currently possible.
• Dual-purpose solution for both planning and real-time scenarios would be valuable
This is not a vehicle-based GPS

Evacuation Routing: Advantages • Laptop friendly and computationally
efficient – multiple iterations are possible in
“what-if” analysis
• Dual-purpose solution for both planning and real-time scenarios
• Scalable to any transportation networko Vehicular (roads)o Pedestrian (buildings and sidewalks)
