Evacuation study by crowd dynamics micro-simulation to support disaster prevention and management: The case of SIMULATOR project

摘要

The paper presents an ongoing research within a multidisciplinary collaboration aiming at improving information and tools to prepare local authorities, volunteers and citizens (at a municipal and/or inter-municipal level) to anticipate, cope with, resist against and recover from the impacts of hydro-geological hazards. In particular, the paper aims at presenting the general framework and first results of the research activities we developed in order to demonstrate potential advantages from micro-simulation of evacuation dynamics. The research case study is settled on Italian Alps.
