Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents the concept of a modular multi-dimensional tool (MMDT) for evacuation planning models. The goal of MMDT is to propose alternative route and destination locations that can be evaluated and compared to one another. The proposed tool can represent a very large number of scenarios and its strength is in its modularity and efficiency. The MMDT can be applied using both conventional evacuation models and decentralised personalised evacuation models based on Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN) to reduce overall evacuation times. Large-scale test cases using anonymous LBSN data illustrate the MMDT on several scenarios. Results indicate a significant reduction in evacuation times when using decentralised personal evacuation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
