Abstract
This study is the fundamental research to establish evacuation planning and to analyze evacuation planning characteristics in Gumi-city based on existing network and traffic characteristics data. Assuming an emergency situation, it compared with evacuation time estimates between using existing traffic signal system and proposed lane-based routing method through micro simulations. As a result, using existing traffic signal system could not affect the evacuation times in each level of emergency conditions. However this study found that proposed lane-based routing method is very effective to reduce an evacuation time compared with using existing traffic signal system. Also the proposed method is verified to reduce an evacuation time especially in extreme emergency circumstances.
