Lessons from the evacuation of the World Trade Center, Sept 11th 2001 for the future development of computer simulations [PDF]
This paper provides an overview of the state of the art in evacuation simulations. These interactive computer based tools have been developed to help the owners and designers of large public buildings to assess the risks that occupants might face during ...

Approach to Modeling Demand and Supply for a Short-Notice Evacuation [PDF]
As part of disaster mitigation and evacuation planning, planners must be able to develop effective tactical and operational strategies to manage traffic and transportation needs during an evacuation. One aspect of evacuation planning is the estimation of

Physics-based model and data dual-driven approaches for predictive evacuation
Physics-based models or data-driven methodologies can help acquire the evacuation process for optimizing evacuation and rescue plans. However, neither of these methodologies can predict the process rapidly and precisely.

Development of an integrated socio-hydrological modeling framework for assessing the impacts of shelter location arrangement and human behaviors on flood evacuation processes [PDF]
In many flood-prone areas, it is essential for emergency responders to use advanced computer models to assess flood risk and develop informed flood evacuation plans. However, previous studies have had a limited understanding of how evacuation performance

Applying the lessons of the attack on the World Trade Center, 11th September 2001, to the design and use of interactive evacuation simulations [PDF]
The collapse of buildings, such as terminal 2E at Paris' Charles de Gaule Airport, and of fires, such as the Rhode Island, Station Night Club tragedy, has focused public attention on the safety of large public buildings.

Responsibility modelling for civil emergency planning [PDF]
This paper presents a new approach to analysing and understanding civil emergency planning based on the notion of responsibility modelling combined with HAZOPS-style analysis of information requirements. Our goal is to represent complex contingency plans
