Abstract:

Road capacity plays a key role in emergency evacuation planning， and it is difficult to accurately predict the road capacity when we formulate an evacuation plan before a disaster occurs. Based on the different degrees of impact of disasters on road capacity in reality， the emergency evacuation planning model with capacity uncertainty caused by the road stability coefficient is considered， to obtain the choice of evacuation route and the corresponding flow arrangement over time. In order to avoid the disadvantages of overly strong assumptions about the exact value or accurate probability distribution of road capacity， it is assumed that only the mean and the partial distribution information of the upper and lower bounds of the support set of the road stability coefficient are known， and the uncertain distribution set characterized by known information is formulated， then the distributionally robust optimization method is used to construct a reliable evacuation path plan under the worst-case scenario of the uncertain set； based on the network breakdown minimization principle， an opportunity constraint model with the goal to minimize congestion probability is established to further ensure the reliability of the route planning scheme. Then the solution method is given， and the simulation analysis is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the method and the reliability of the evacuation path scheme.
