Disruptive events lead to capacity degradation of transportation infrastructure, and a good
restoration plan could minimize the aftermath impacts during the recovery period. This is …

Sometimes, the evacuation measure may seem to be the best choice as an emergency
response. To enable an efficiency evacuation, a network optimization model which …

No‐notice evacuations of metropolitan areas can place significant demands on
transportation infrastructure. Connected vehicle (CV) technology, with real‐time vehicle to …

A reservation-based intersection control algorithm was implemented for hurricane
evacuation in a connected and autonomous vehicle environment. The autonomous …

Intersections form one of the biggest challenges to emergency managers when evacuation
