Influences of Multi-Evacuation Strategies on Smart Networks

Catastrophes have increased over recent years, highlighting the need for effective disaster management systems. The largest earthquake to hit Turkey since 1939 caused damage to roughly 350,000 km² and affected 16% of Turkey's population. United Nations development experts estimate 1.5 million people were left homeless. The confirmed death toll was 53,537, with damage estimates at US$148.8 billion. Roads and communication disruptions hampered the pre-planned Disaster and Emergency Management system. Previous assessment of intelligent emergency response systems emphasizes the need for transportation networks in large-scale catastrophes. This study shows how the Intelligent Transportation System could be utilized in conjunction with emergency evacuation strategies in various situations. Meanwhile, to assess the evacuation strategies' performance, the Intelligence Disaster Management System uses different technologies, like mobiles, Social media, and vehicle devices, etc., in place of communication infrastructure and platforms. These strategies include demand, destination, and speed strategy. This research aims to model system performance and the aftermath of a disaster in a realistic urban transport city. Later, findings are compared with a control group that had a previous disaster control system. The combination of strategies compared to a singular strategy showed an increase of flow volume of 1.92 times greater.
