Abstract:In this research, a multimodal transportation model was developed attending the needs of emergency situations, and the solutions provided by the model could be used to moderate congestion during such events. The model incorporated features such as lane reversals as they have a significant impact on the evacuation efficiency. We proposed analytical techniques to solve the model. In this project, we developed a multimodal evacuation model and we hope to apply the model for an event management at the football stadium at University of Florida. The model is used to establish optimal evacuation routes to the bimodal evacuation problem and obtain efficient loading schemes for the staged evacuation. As a future extension, we are working on acceleration of the convergence of the algorithm.
