Short description:
The role of ITS in evacuation route optimization for emergency vehicles / Polimeni, A., Vitetta, A.. - 44:(2012), pp. 517-529. [10.2495/RISK120431]
abstract:
In this paper the application of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in road
evacuation in the case of route optimization for emergency vehicles is reported.
The ITS are usually used in transport to analyse the data and improve the system
performances. In road evacuation, the ITS can be used at three levels: survey and
transmission, control and user information. This structure allows managing an
evacuation starting from the network monitoring and defining the optimal
strategies to apply to speed up the evacuation procedure.
