Optimal route for evacuating people from a radioactively contaminated region

摘要

One of the main problems of civil defense is evacuation of people by motor transport from regions contaminated with radioactive substances during a serious accident at a nuclear power plant. The solution of this problem reduces to choosing the optimal route where the dose loads are minimal. Besides organizational problems, this problem is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to take into account the required number of vehicles, the fuel, the number of routes which one driver can follow without being reirradiated, and others.
