Modelling and Visualizing Short Term Impact of a Nuclear Accident on Transportation Flows

This paper presents an integrated system to calculate and visualize optimal evacuation routes in case of a serious release of radioactivity, minimizing the exposure to radiation. The system calculates and visualizes the optimal flow as to vacate any set of nodes while minimizing a specified cost. A...
