Simulation Study of Emergency Evacuation of Greater Jackson due to Hazardous Material Incident

| 摘要： | In response to both natural and man-made disasters, emergency evacuation aims to move a large disaster affected Volume through a multimodal transportation network towards safer areas quickly and efficiently. The derailment of a freight train in downtown Jackson thus causing the spillage of chlorine, a highly toxic hazardous material, is assumed as an emergency evacuation scenario to (1) identify weak links in the highway network; and to (2) develop effective emergency evacuation strategies to reduce congestion on highway networks. In this report the area that will be affected by the gas spill extends from Mill Street on the west to Airport Road on the east and Meadowbrook Road on the north to Fortification on the south. The traffic operation was simulated using a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) based traffic-network planning and simulation program DynusT. The origin and destination (OD) demand was calibrated using observed traffic volume data at several critical evacuation routes. Various traffic management strategies such as baseline traffic control, traffic management strategies and contra-flow deployment were employed to reduce congestion on highways during emergency situations. |
