Abstract

Artillery attacks on an urban area are both critical and realistic in some parts of the world. To diminish damages from the attacks, evacuation should consider complexities in urban geographics and dynamics. If we limit the scope to the evacuation of vehicles and the road topologies, the individual evacuations, as well as the damaged network structure of roads, creates complex congestion dynamics. Using the agent-based model, we performed virtual experiments from the perspectives of bombing and agent parameters, and evaluated evacuation time of each agent. Moreover, in the virtual experiments, we applied real data to generate the road network. The experimental results shows that the evacuation time and the damages are varied with respect to bombing strategy, agent characteristics, and road conditions.
