Abstract:

Mass evacuations, especially at the statewide level, present formidable challenges in traffic management, often characterized by extensive delays and congestion. This paper introduces an innovative analytical method designed for the cost-effective measurement and comprehensive description of such large-scale evacuations. By utilizing straightforward and widely available traffic count datasets, the research delves into critical aspects of evacuation scenarios, addressing key questions pertaining to events like Hurricane Irma and Michael in Florida, as well as Tubbs and Thomas Fire evacuations in California. The analytical approach enables the estimation of the onset and conclusion of auto-based evacuations, understanding loading and peaking traffic characteristics, and determining the total number of vehicles involved in the evacuation process. Additionally, it delineates the effective start and end of the auto-based reentry phase.
