Description
This research proposes a framework for real-time emergency evacuation management. The researchers first developed and proposed a theoretical framework for adaptive system control, which involved control updating based on real-world traffic data. They next addressed computation challenges by constructing a heuristic framework for real-time computations of evacuee routing strategies and intersection control via officer deployment.
