Cemps: Configurable Evacuation Management and Planning System - a Progress Report

摘要

This paper is a summary of progress to date in developing a spatial decision support system to be used by emergency planners in preparing contingency plans for possible evacuations from man-made hazards. Its core is based on linking a static Geographical Information System with a dynamic micro-simulator of traffic movements. The idea is to permit emergency planners to interact with the system so as to improve the planning process.
