Abstract
We introduce two congestion metrics to guide emergency evacuations using sensing and local area networks, that use current congestion and congestion forecasts, together with the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN), a routing algorithm which intelligently discovers paths. Using simulations we find that CPN performs well for emergency evacuation with such metrics, and also reveal the dynamics that these schemes can create.
