Abstract
Risk reduction by urban evacuation was systematically studied in the literature since early 2000s. In particular, it received a great impulse after the 9/11 attack and the Katrina hurricane. Today new frontiers opened by the next-generation of Transportation System Models (TSMs) request further developments of research. The publication dealt with the state of art about recent publications on road network modelling for emergency management, with a focus on the link cost functions. The link cost function is the brick for building the so-called ‘disutility updating model’ that allows to obtaining the costs (or disutility) on road network forecasted/experienced by users (e.g. evacuees) during an urban evacuation.The results of the work concern a state of the art on road networks for risk reduction by urban evacuation, based on a bibliometric analysis of relevant literature.The findings allowed to identify the main trends, gaps and future directions in the examined research field. Some modelling advancements in terms of specification, calibration and validation of next-generation of network models are made possible due to the massive adoption of e-ICTs.The conclusions of the work concern the challenges that need to be addressed for the development of network models able to incorporate the potentialities of e-ICTs for risk reduction by urban evacuation.
