Abstract

The development of urban life, along with the comfort and well-being it has provided for city dwellers, also brings many accidents and dangers that threaten people's lives and property. Fire, if it happens, as one of the dangers that destroys capital and life in addition to serving humanity, has a significant impact on the environment as well as the transportation network. The proper operation of the transportation network in emergencies can play an important role in terms of access and relief (emergency and firefighting) in reducing the effects of fire accidents. The present research, taking into account the proposed relief routes for providing relief to the Market in Amol city with a population of 240,000 people and its effective indicators, is prioritized in order to determine the optimal network and Evacuation network of the field of effect in order to reduce the damage caused by the crisis. In this research, the prioritization of relief routes is checked with the opinion of experts and experts and considering five important variables. The variables include route length, route width, population density, one-way or two-way route and service level. In order to evaluate and compare the proposed routes and options, the maps obtained from GIS and AHP hierarchical process were used and the routes were analyzed for prioritization. It has been done by determining the time of the Emergency vehicle. Reaching the market and analyzing the speed of these vehicles in peak traffic and non-peak traffic conditions using AIMSUN simulation. In this regard, the results show that in the selected routes, the route width factor has the best priority for emergency relief and evacuation in terms of speed and time.
