TLDR
The lack of prior warning of an earthquake is a major cause of damage from surface transportation systems as discussed by the authors, along with the lack of adequate emergency preparedness for such an event can cause significant damage.Abstract:
Surface transportation systems are an essential part of urban transportation infrastructure and are susceptible to damage from earthquakes. This damage, along with the lack of prior warning of eart...read more

Simulating dynamical features of escape panic
TL;DR: A model of pedestrian behaviour is used to investigate the mechanisms of panic and jamming by uncoordinated motion in crowds, and an optimal strategy for escape from a smoke-filled room is found, involving a mixture of individualistic behaviour and collective ‘herding’ instinct.

A Model and an Algorithm for the Dynamic Traffic Assignment Problems
TL;DR: A discrete time model is presented for dynamic traffice assignment with a single destination and can be solved for a global optimum using a one-pass simplex algorithm---branch-and-bound is not required.

Stochastic optimization of medical supply location and distribution in disaster management
TL;DR: A stochastic optimization approach for the storage and distribution problem of medical supplies to be used for disaster management under a wide variety of possible disaster types and magnitudes and can aid interdisciplinary agencies to both prepare and respond to disasters by considering the risk in an efficient manner.
