Evaluation of in-vehicle Decision Support System for Emergency Evacuation

Abstract

One of the most important issues in Decision Support Systems (DSS) technology is in ensuring their effectiveness and efficiency for future implementations and use. DSS is prominent tool in disaster information system, which allows the authority to provide life safety information directly to the mobile devices of anyone physically located in the evacuation area. After that a personal DSS guides users to a safe point. Due to the large uncertainty in initial conditions and assumptions on underlying process the implementation and evaluation of such DSS are extremely hard, particularly in real environment. We propose a simulation methodology for the evaluation of in-vehicle DSS for emergency evacuation based on transport system and human decision-making modeling.
