Evacuation Concept
Use transit, school, other public buses
Drive through areas to be evacuated
Pick up persons / families / households in these neighborhoods needing assistance to evacuate
Transport these persons to emergency shelters
Complete the evacuation as quickly as possible
![Page 5: Transit Vehicle Routing Methods for Large-Scale Evacuation Mark Hickman and Moshe Dror University of Arizona INFORMS November 15, 2011.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d135503460f949e7562/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problem Characteristics
Rural postman problem (RPP) Undirected edges Some edges do not need to be visited Any connected set of served edges (clusters) must served as a
whole Possible precedence on components
Multiple vehicle routing Capacitated vehicles Capacitated shelters (depots)

Problem Characteristics
m-vehicle capacitated arc routing problem
Formulation of objective Min-max problem
Minimize completion time / maximum time of any single vehicle
Assumes there is sufficient time to evacuate all persons
Maximize the number of persons evacuated in a period of timeInsufficient time to evacuate all persons
Min-max or Minimum cost with precedence relationshipsPhasing based on characteristics of disaster

Problem Definition
Objective: Minimize the time for a (possibly phased) evacuation
Decision: Itinerary (routing) of each vehicle, through neighborhoods to shelters
Inputs: Fleet of vehicles with initial locations and capacities Neighborhoods to be evacuated and road network Estimate of persons to be evacuated along each street
(possibly zero) Estimate of travel times on streets and to / from
shelters Shelter capacities

Solution Approach
Transform RPP to GTSP (Dror and Langevin, 1997)
Transform GTSP to TSP(Noon and Bean, 1993)
Solve TSP (Concorde)
Break Euler tour into sub-paths at vehicle capacity
Route using insertion heuristic
Post-optimization
Rural Postman Problem(RPP)

Case Study
Witch Fire, October 2007
San Diego County, CA
Mandatory evacuations of hundreds of thousands of persons
Large network size, with effective heuristics Precedence relationships Large bus fleet
