Abstract

Advancements regarding Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) microscopic models for the simulation of supply and demand-supply interaction of a road transportation system in emergency conditions are presented. They are related to link and node models specified in the research project SICURO, carried out by the Laboratory for Transport Systems Analysis (LAST) of the Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria (Italy). Microscopic link (car-following) and gap-acceptance (rejection) models for non-signalized intersections are calibrated from data observed during a real simulation of evacuation. An application is performed in order to reproduce the observed evacuation phases through a set of performance indicators.
