A companion paper [8] introduces models and algorithms for large-scale zone-based evacuation planning in which each evacuation zone is assigned a path to safety and a departure time. It also shows how to combine zone-based evacuations with contraflows and impose additional path-convergence and non-preemptive constraints. This paper evaluates these algorithms on a real, large-scale case study, both from a macroscopic standpoint and through microscopic simulations under a variety of assumptions. The results quantify, for the first time, the benefits and limitations of contraflows, convergent plans, and non-preemption, providing unique perspectives on how to deploy these algorithms in practice. They also highlight the approaches best suited to capture each of these design features and the computational burden they impose. The paper also suggests new directions for future research in zone-based evacuation planning and beyond in order to address the fundamental challenges by emergency services around the world.

大规模区域疏散规划，第二部分：宏观和微观评估

一篇配套论文 [8] 介绍了基于区域的大规模疏散规划的模型和算法，其中每个疏散区都被分配了一条通往安全的路径和一个出发时间。它还展示了如何将基于区域的疏散与逆流相结合，并施加额外的路径收敛和非抢占式约束。本文从宏观角度和通过各种假设下的微观模拟，在真实的大规模案例研究中评估这些算法。结果首次量化了逆流、收敛计划和非抢占的优势和局限性，为如何在实践中部署这些算法提供了独特的视角。他们还强调了最适合捕捉这些设计特征中的每一个的方法以及它们强加的计算负担。
