Abstract:The goal of this Center for Advanced Multimodal Mobility Solutions and Education (CAMMSE) project was to preliminarily model the microscopic and macroscopic effects of incorporating connected vehicle (CV) technologies into emergency evacuation during typical winter weather in the Pacific Northwest. To meet this goal, the following objectives will be addressed: (1) identifying an appropriate Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) highway corridor close to a metropolitan area and collecting the relevant data including: one candidate area for simulation, emergency evacuation objectives and path choices, current practices of evacuation transportation; (2) collecting sensor data at the selected WSDOT highway corridor and metropolitan area and characterizing the changes in traffic patterns due to winter weather; (3) simulating the effects of different levels of CV traffic on evacuation clearance time under a hypothetical earthquake scenario, and; (4) developing an integrated model that incorporates the effects of winter weather and CVs into the evacuation routing simulation. Note that this CAMMSE project aims to lay the foundation to address much needed research in the area of optimizing winter mobility during emergency evacuation using historical data and assuming no significant changes to the conventional winter road maintenance (WRM) operations or existing traffic signal infrastructure.
