Simulation of Evacuation Route Choice

In last years is significant attention to the simulation of transport systems for emergencies. Simulation provides different methods to decrease evacuation time when traffic demand can change very fast, some of sections of road network is destroyed and capacity is limited. For new traffic states, route guidance has to be considered on the base of route choice model. The following conceptual approaches are used as tools for these problems solution in our research: traffic monitoring; estimation of congestion conditions; traffic simulation on urban network and the forecast of the system efficiency of emergency evacuation.
