摘要: |
The report summarizes the methods and results of the assessment of post-evacuation reentry and its impact on regional traffic operations. The work herein examined wider-ranging effects and focused specifically on mass evacuations in megaregions. Among the findings of this work was that, as expected, reentry traffic processes behavior was similar to evacuations, but in the reverse direction. Somewhat more unexpectedly, the results of this research suggest that network performance during the reentry process was consistently better than that of the evacuation. Another broad conclusion from the research was that the heterogeneity of the distribution of traffic is a primary factor that determines the network performance for any set of conditions. |
