“…Hence, the minimum improvement for travellers to deviate from their route represents the level of travellers' compliance, where a higher minimum improvement leads to a higher compliance level (since this reduces the probability of a more attractive alternative route), and vice versa. This way, the hybrid route choice model formulation in EVAQ has been exploited by Pel et al (2010a) to evaluate the impact of partial traveller compliance on existing evacuation traffic plans, and by Pel et al (2010c) to design new optimal evacuation plans while anticipating partial traveller compliance behaviour.…”

A review on travel behaviour modelling in dynamic traffic simulation models for evacuations

Dynamic traffic simulation models are frequently used to support decisions when planning an evacuation. This contribution reviews the different (mathematical) model formulations underlying these traffic simulation models used in evacuation studies and the behavioural assumptions that are made. The appropriateness of these behavioural assumptions is elaborated on in light of the current consensus on evacuation travel behaviour, based on the view from the social sciences as well as empirical studies on evacuation behaviour. The focus lies on how travellers' decisions are predicted through simulation regarding the choice to evacuate, departure time choice, destination choice, and route choice. For the evacuation participation and departure time choice we argue in favour of the simultaneous approach to dynamic evacuation demand prediction using the repeated binary logit model. For the destination choice we show how further research is needed to generalize the current preliminary findings on the location-type specific destination choice models. For the evacuation route choice we argue in favour of hybrid route choice models that enable both following instructed routes and en-route switches. Within each of these discussions, we point at current limitations and make corresponding suggestions on promising future research directions.

“…Various communication systems can be used (radio, telephone, mobile, internet, SMS, GSM, wifi and so on). The sending of information to the users is investigate in some papers, for example, in [25] and [40] an analysis on the effects related to the data sending with variable message panels is proposed; in [41] an analysis to determine what data to send and how send it is reported; in [42] user behaviour by sending travel information is analysed. In most case, these communication systems are indicated as Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS [43]).…”

In this paper the application of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in road evacuation in the case of route optimization for emergency vehicles is reported. The ITS are usually used in transport to analyse the data and improve the system performances. In road evacuation, the ITS can be used at three levels: survey and transmission, control and user information. This structure allows managing an evacuation starting from the network monitoring and defining the optimal strategies to apply to speed up the evacuation procedure.

“…Information achieved by users through ATIS influence users' choices: the compliance level has to be taken into account during the simulation process [33]. The kind of information available provokes a different influence on users' behaviour.…”

In this paper a state of the art of path choice and traffic assignment models in road emergency conditions is reported. The approaches proposed in literature are classified, distinguishing two approaches for path choice and three approaches for traffic assignment (static, pseudo dynamic and dynamic). In literature, several applications of models in emergency conditions are available: at the beginning models specified in ordinary conditions were applied in emergency conditions. Afterwards, a first generation of models specified in emergency conditions was proposed. After 9/11 and Katrina Hurricane a second generation of emergency conditions models was specified. Evolution of models applied in emergency conditions is presented in this paper: first, models in ordinary conditions are treated; second, models in emergency conditions are treated. In the last ten years several applications of models in emergency conditions have been carried out. Main applications in emergency conditions are summarized in this paper.
