Abstract

After dangerous goods spilling, the emergency evacuation transportation of the hazardous area is rather important to reduce personal injuries and economic losses. This paper analyzes the emergency evacuation on major and core road networks during a given time. The objective function is a cell model for regional emergency evacuation considering road network capacity. Then, combining with the complexity of the model characteristics and advantages, the quantum particle swarm model is solved. The example shows that under emergency situations, if the traffic management department makes most of the information superiority and dominant road network evacuation capacity, the evacuation capability will increase by 56.9% than normal cases. The proposed models and algorithms provide a theoretical support for emergency traffic management.
