Application of Traffic Simulation Modeling for Improved Emergency Preparedness Planning.

First the CORSIM traffic simulation software was used to model the major area traffic corridors into a regional transportation network. Then the regional model was utilized to test and evaluate emergency management strategies in response to natural or human caused disasters.Appropriate preparedness and response measures of effectiveness (mOEs) were selected to support the assessment process at the region-wied and/or corridor level. Candidate response actions were compared and evaluated on the basis of these MOEs and recommendations were developed on best practices and needs.This approach involves selection of an appropriate simulation tool, collection of data. to be used as model inputs and for model calibration, construction of 1he simulation model, model calibration and validation, development and testing of emergency scenarios, and evaluation of results Test scenarios: Traffic inident and evacuation of downtown Birmingham.
