Contraflow Network Reconfiguration for Evacuation Planning: A Summary of Results Sangho Kim and Shashi Shekhar   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Session 7: Data Modeling - Performance Evaluation Abstract Contraflow, or lane reversal, is a way of increasing outbound capacity of a real network by reversing the direction of inbound roads during evacuations. The contraflow is considered a potential remedy to solve congestions during evacuations in context of homeland security and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes). Currently available contraflow algorithms only tackle a single-source and multiple-destinations situation. These approaches cannot handle a multiple-sources problem which is harder due ... ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
