Safety of users in road evacuation: Planning internal processes and guidelines

Abstract

In this paper a structured process to plan an urban system in emergency conditions is presented. The internal planning process is described with reference to planning dimensions and to a generic product-plan component. Guidelines for evacuation planning resulting from the SICURO project are presented, with a view to developing and testing an evacuation plan for an urban system in emergency conditions. Quantitative evaluations play an essential role in the guidelines.
