Abstract

In this paper a mcsoscopic model for the simulation of traffic flow in urban areas of medium dimensions during evacuation conditions is applied. The simulation of traffic with a within-day dynanlic approach is necessary, in order to represent the formation and dissipation of the vehicles queues, due to the presence of over saturation phenomena. The model, implemented insidc a general assignment procedurc, allows to obtain evacuation time and traffic parameters during the dynamic evolution of the evacuation phases. 1 Introduction The evacuation of an area involves
