Abstract :
We report our recent work about basic studies on crisis management systems for reliable communication/transportation network design and evacuation guidance of residents against large-scale disasters. We survey recent developments in modeling of evacuation problems and we also describe our efficient algorithm for evacuation and transportation network design, which optimally locates facilities of safety.
