Model of emergence evacuation route planning with contra flow and zone scheduling in disaster evacuation

Abstract

Evacuation is characterized by rapid movement of people in unsafe locations or disaster sites to safer locations. The traffic management strategy for commonly used evacuations is the use of Shoulder-Lane, contra flowing traffic and gradual evacuation. Contra flowhas been commonly used in traffic management by changing traffic lanes during peak hours. To implement the contra flowoperation, there are two main problems that must be decided, namely optimal contraflow lane configuration problem (OCLCP) and optimal contraflow scheduling. Within the OCSP there are two approaches that can be used: zone scheduling and flow scheduling. Problem of contra flow and zone scheduling problem is basically an emergence evacuation route planning (EERP) issue. This research will discuss EERP with contraflow and zone scheduling which can guarantee the movement of people in disaster area to safe area in emergency situation.
