RISPerspectives for Network Management in Response to Unplanned Disruptions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents two important perspectives that road authorities should consider under terrorism evacuation scenarios. First, households have been observed to gather prior to evacuating an area. Rather than immediately ...
Determinants of Departure Timing for Hurricane Matthew and Anticipated Consistency in Future Evacuation Departures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work investigated the factors affecting household choice of departure time during evacuations in Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Departure time estimates are needed to predict time-varying evacuation demand for use in ...
Commuter Adaptation in Response to Hurricane Sandy’s Damage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Statistical Analysis of the Number of Household Vehicles Used for Hurricane Ivan Evacuation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objectives of this paper are to identify the contributing factors to households’ choice of the number of vehicles used for evacuation and to develop predictive models of this choice that explicitly consider the constraint ...
Incident-Induced Diversion Behavior: Existence, Magnitude, and Contributing Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need to understand the effects of diverting traffic is emphasized by growing congestion and delays. This paper examines incident-induced diversion behavior by using loop-detector data and incident records on a freeway ...
Assisting Road Users Exposed to Nuisance Flooding
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flooding can severely disrupt transportation systems. In many cases, flooding only results in road closures rather than neighborhood evacuation. This paper introduces a framework that provides routing assistance to vehicles ...
Household Hurricane Evacuation Plan Adaptation in Response to Estimated Travel Delay Provided Prior to Departure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Households have access to real-time travel information via different media. However, the effects of predeparture information about travel delays on households’ evacuation plans (evacuate/stay, departure time, route, and ...
Multistate Assessment of Roadway Travel, Social Separation, and COVID-19 Cases
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research was undertaken to comparatively assess the unprecedented travel and activity conditions related to the onset of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) in the US in the first half of 2020. In this effort, ...
Investigating COVID-19 Induced Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Ridership Disparities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The impacts of COVID-19 on for-hire vehicle (FHV) (e.g., Uber/Lyft, often referred to as transportation network companies in other locations) and taxi use have been relatively understudied compared with transit and personal ...
A Connected Emergency Response System to Facilitate the Movement of Multiple Emergency Response Vehicles through Two-Way Roadways
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Emergency response vehicles (ERVs) need to move fast, which can lead to potential accidents. A system is proposed to utilize connected vehicle technology for facilitating the movement of multiple ERVs in a two-way roadway. ...
