Interactive visual interfaces for evacuation planning

To support planning of massive transportations under time-critical conditions, in particular, evacuation of people from a disasteraffected area, we have developed a software module for automated generation of transportation schedules and a suite of visual analytics tools that enable the verification of a schedule by a human expert. We combine computational, visual, and interactive techniques to help the user to deal with large and complex data involving geographical space, time, and heterogeneous objects.
