Collaborative Research: Multi-Perspective Evacuation Performance Measurement

如果成功，这项研究将通过考虑系统和包含通过绩效指标链接的过程的系统，将疏散描述为一个由交通和家庭视角组成的网络，从而提供一个偏离当前疏散规划观点的出发点。鉴于这项研究的信息和数据将以家庭反应和交通事故为基础，在现实情况下进行校准表明，所得出的业绩目标可以更容易地被运输机构和家庭纳入。项目资金将支持至少一名特拉华大学公共政策和行政学院暑期奖学金获得者。PIS将为初中生开发适合年龄的活动，让他们参加由加强工程多样性中心赞助的弗吉尼亚理工大学的夏令营。在代表性不足的群体方面，PI将寻求通过威廉·A·安德森基金(William A.Anderson Fund)资助和招收一名学生。研究方法始于这样的断言，即“绩效”是一个社会技术过程，需要科学测量和对社会制度的理解，这些制度赋予、告知和约束了关于什么是好的或不好的疏散的观点。研究方法要求拆解疏散的基本现象，并重新思考如何评估和衡量这一现象的好或坏结果。这表明，既不适合使用单一的业绩衡量标准，也不适合只考虑单一观点。这项研究采用并增强了动态网络绩效测量方法，以概念化和模型化交通机构和家庭之间的关系，并将这些群体的绩效作为一个共同产生疏散结果的“系统”。该团队定义并计算了不同时间点的多个绩效衡量标准。分析方法被用来评价交通运输战略。

If successful, the research will provide a point of departure from current viewpoints on evacuation planning by representing an evacuation as a network composed of transportation and household perspectives by considering systems, and systems containing processes linked through performance metrics. Given that the information and data of this research will be grounded in household responses and transportation occurrences calibrated in realistic scenarios suggests that the derived performance targets could be more readily incorporated by both transportation agencies and households. Project funding will support a minimum of one University of Delaware School of Public Policy and Administration Summer Scholar. The PIs will develop age appropriate activities for middle to high school students to participate in camps at Virginia Tech sponsored through the Center for Enhancement of Engineering Diversity. In terms of under-represented groups, a PI will seek to fund and recruit a student through the William A. Anderson Fund, a 501c.The research approach begins with the assertion that "performance" is a socio-technical process that requires both scientific measurement and an understanding of social systems that empower, inform, and constrain views on what makes a good or bad evacuation. The research approach requires unpacking the basic phenomena of evacuation and rethinking how good or bad outcomes of that phenomenon are evaluated and measured. This suggests that it is neither appropriate to use a single performance measure nor to consider only a single point of view. This research adapts and augments dynamic network performance measurement approaches to conceptualize and model the relationships between transportation agencies and households and the performance of these groups as a "system" that co-produces the outcomes of an evacuation. The team defines and computes multiple measures of performance at different points in time. Analytical approaches are used to evaluate transportation strategies.
