This project aims to investigate how and why people in popular bushfire-prone communities make travel-related decisions during bushfire evacuation. Rapid bushfire spread and limited transport capacity in densely populated areas at the rural interface create the ‘perfect storm’ for deaths and injuries. Missing from our knowledge is the role of human behaviour in such outcomes. Applying insights from social and computer sciences to engineering models, this project expects to generate new theory on resident and visitor evacuation travel behaviour in vulnerable areas during bushfires. Expected outcomes of this project include improvements to the tools used for community preparedness and response to increase Australia’s resilience to bushfires.

该项目旨在调查容易发生丛林火灾的社区中的人们在丛林火灾疏散期间如何以及为何做出与旅行相关的决定。丛林大火的迅速蔓延和农村交界处人口稠密地区有限的运输能力造成了造成人员伤亡的“完美风暴”。我们的知识中缺少的是人类行为在这些结果中的作用。该项目将社会科学和计算机科学的见解应用到工程模型中，期望产生有关丛林大火期间脆弱地区居民和游客疏散旅行行为的新理论。该项目的预期成果包括改进用于社区准备和响应的工具，以提高澳大利亚对丛林大火的抵御能力。
