Evacuation planning involves an iterative process to identify the best routes and to estimate the time required to evacuate the areas at risk. Methods typically used for evacuation planning includes analytical models to express the route choice and traffic propagation using mathematical equations and simulation-based models to describe the traffic conditions and pattern based on a set of rules. This chapter outlines the evacuation planning process and introduces the analytical representation of the evacuation models. A state-of-the-art review for some analytical and simulation models and methodologies for evacuation planning is also presented in this chapter.
