MODELING TRANSIT ISSUES UNIQUE TO HURRICANE EVACUATIONS: NORTH CAROLINA'S SMALL URBAN AND RURAL AREAS

J A Perkins, I K Dabipi, Licong Han · 2001

Summary. This paper develops a traffic operations model to plan hurricane evacuations in North Carolina's small urban and rural areas. The researchers identify evacuation timelines, traffic bottlenecks, and congestion-reduction strategies. They also create a methodology for scheduling buses to evacuate elderly and disabled residents who cannot leave by private vehicle, demonstrated through case studies of specific North Carolina communities.
