  • An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

    Creator:
    Xu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...
