Monograph

This issue contains 14 papers concerned with the subject of critical transportation infrastructure protection and resilience and emergency evacuation. Specific topics discussed include the following: recovery and mitigation; material convergence; case studies; transportation network defense against random and targeted attacks; location of medical facilities; location of medical services after biological terrorist attack; communicating with vulnerable populations; traffic information in emergency situations; relocating children in daytime no-notice evacuations; time needed to evacuate; turning movements in pedestrian crowds during emergency egress; intersection origin-destination flow optimization for evacuation; simulating vehicular-pedestrian mixed flows; and a dynamic gravity model for hurricane evacuation planning.
