摘要: In this research, we present the results of a behavior model to capture different routing strategies executed by evacuees during hurricane evacuation by using a random-parameter logit-based modeling approach. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to model evacuees' strategic behavior for evacuation routing decisions using a random-parameter model. A probabilistic model incorporating the demographic characteristics of evacuees and evacuation related characteristics would predict the routing behavior of evacuees' in a better way. Several important factors, for example, household's geographic location, number of children, evacuees' income and age, timing and medium of evacuation notice, etc. influence household's evacuation routing decision which are found from our empirical analysis. In addition, we explain the results of a behavior model to capture the timing behavior of evacuees which elapses from the time of an evacuation decision making to the time of actual evacuation during a hurricane by developing a random-parameter ordered probit model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to model evacuees' strategic behavior in terms of evacuation timing by developing a random-parameter ordered probit model. Different influential factors, such as, household's geographic location, socio-economic factors, evacuation related characteristics, trip time during normal condition, previous experience, etc. are found to be statistically significant which affect the time that is required by the evacuees for necessary arrangements during an evacuation.
