§The overall objective is to
estimate the potential impacts of Emergency Communications
and Evacuation (EVAC) strategies on evacuees’ mobility and
evacuation clearance time
§
§The hurricane
Katrina evacuation model of the Greater New Orleans area is used as a
baseline for the assessment of EVAC
§
§Transformative targets
□EVAC is expected to
expedite the evacuation process, improve the mobility of transit-based evacuees,
and reduce congestion and fuel consumption
