Abstract

Methods and models for analysing road urban transportation performance inemergency conditions are described. Simulation in emergency conditions requires the study of two strictly connected models: risk analysis and evacuation simulation. Methods for supply analysis, for demand analysis and forsupply-demand interaction analysis are described. A general model for risk evaluation in transportation systems and relative solution algorithms were proposed for simulation and designing evacuation in an urban road network system in emergency conditions. The model was used to simulate the evacuation of Zafferana Etnea, Italy. The road network simulated had 30 nodes, 61 road links and 2000 vehicles. Eight scenarios were tested with different hypotheses on demand-supply interaction (stationary, non-stationary mesoscopic and microscopic).
