Abstract

This research focuses on identifying optimal evacuation routing plans in public transit networks during various extreme events in urban road networks. The public transit evacuation system is modeled by a time-expanded network, based on a dynamic network flow model, and aims to minimize the total evacuation clearance time. This model transforms the public transit evacuation scheduling problem into a mixed-integer linear program (MILP). Also, a heuristic TABU-based search algorithm is used to find a high-quality solution in a reasonable amount of time. Finally, a case study is conducted using the central road network of Changchun city in China. Many numerical experiments are implemented in CPLEX 9.0 and the results show that time-expanded networks can effectively represent transit evacuation dynamics and the heuristic TABU-based algorithm can make an appropriate trade-off between solving efficiency and accuracy.
