To
realistically simulate a major evacuation, the following
information
is required:
- A description of the
transportation infrastructure, usually the road network and also
pedestrian routes where applicable;
- A description of the spatial
distribution of the population, by time of day and type of activity;
- A description of vehicle movements during an emergency;
- A representation of the timing
of people’s response to the emergency, and how this timing varies with a
person’s location and current activity at the time that they find out
about the
threat;
- A representation of evacuee
route and destination selection behaviour;
- A representation of any traffic
management controls that may be incorporated within the evacuation plan;
- A representation of any
non-evacuation based protective actions taken by significant population
sub-groups within the area at risk;
- A representation of the flood
hazard in terms of extent and sometimes in terms of the spatio-temporal
variability of the depth and velocity.
VATDIS
This
report provides
an overview of the web mapping activities carried out in the VATDIS
action in 2007. These web mapping activities aimed at integrating the
work done for the Orchestra, Floodsite and Preview IP into one single
demonstrator. In the main section of this report an outline is given of
the reasons for integrating the projects and the contents of this
integration. The report should be seen as a summary of the technical
choices made in order to accomplish this integration. The annexes on
this report help the more technical reader to understand the design of
the demonstrator and to duplicate it for its own purposes.
