Abstract:

Iran is located on a seismic belt and it is always in danger of earthquakes.  Therefore, focusing on the trip choice behavior in urban road network is essential to manage earthquake disaster and confront its destructive effects. Since choice behavior is a function of interaction between physical and behavioral factors, it is attempted to study the pattern of choice behavior in Qazvin transport network by considering physical and behavioral factors simultaneously. The required data were collected through the stated preferences(SP) survey for six designated earthquake scenarios and revealed preference(RP) survey for the earthquake occurred on December 20, 2017. The binary logit models were applied for analyzing the choice behavior in the stages of chosen action, mode choice and destination choice in response to earthquake disaster. The results indicate that socio-economic characteristics, familiarity with alternative routes, making decisions on the basis of experience, trust in others, cultural and religious beliefs, severity of earthquake and the time of earthquake occurrence are significant variables in trip choice behavior in response to earthquake disaster. After analyzing the results of questionnaires in Transcad software, it was found that in the time of evacuation, 52% of the network links are in oversaturated condition compared to only 17% of network links under normal condition. In the authors' case study, it was found that Vehicle-Time traveled by all vehicles in the network increase 446.4%, due to trip choice behaviors of individuals during earthquake. Also, the fuel consumption will also increase 271.5% in the entire network.
