Simulating traffic flow using spatial-queue-based model.
Modeling evacuation under wildfires.
- Spatial-queue based mesoscopic traffic simulation
- Collision-free node model (e.g., protected left turns)
- Temporal resolution: 1 second
- Route computation: priority-queue based Dijkstra algorithm sp. Flexible rerouting frequency
- Compatible with road network retrieved from OSMnx
- Wildfire evacuation: fire-induced road closures, staggered departures, queue spillback and congestion at traffic bottleneck
- Traffic accidents and other non-typical interruptive events
- Technology appriasal: e.g. value of real-time traffic information (GPS penetration rate and accuracy)
- Suitable for network size from a few links to tens of thousands of links (whole county level)
