Abstract:Strategic planning for emergency response is critical for effective response to natural or deliberate disasters. Response vehicle routing and evacuation of the affected people are part of emergency response operations under disasters. The response vehicle routing seeks to rescue the distressed population and deliver relief support to the affect- ed locations in minimum time, while the evacuation component aims to quickly relocate the affected people to safe lo- cations. The difference between these activities is that they are typically conducted in opposite spatial directions, that is, to and from the affected area, respectively. This characteristic of emergency response operations presents challenges in terms of routing, in addition to time constraints. Moreover, the road network state under a disaster can be time-dependent, since the link (or node) capacity/availability is known only after the disaster occurs (or spreads), and as information is received or updated over time.
