Abstract(in English) When large-scale disasters occur, evacuees have to evacuate to safe places quickly. For this purpose, an automatic evacuation guiding scheme based on cooperation between evacuees and their mobile nodes has been proposed. The previous work adopts a shortest-distance based route selection and does not consider the impact of traffic congestion caused by evacuation guiding. In this paper, we examine the effectiveness of a congestion-aware route selection for the automatic evacuation guiding. We first adopt a traffic congestion model where each evacuee's moving speed on a road is determined by the population density of the road and his/her order among evacuees traveling in the same direction. Based on this congestion model, each mobile node estimates the cost, i.e., traveling time, of each road in the area and selects a route with the smallest cost. Through simulation experiments, we show that the congestion-aware route selection can reduce both average evacuation time and maximum evacuation time compared to the shortest-distance based route selection, especially under highly congested situations.
