Kalypso Evacuation

is a tool box for setting up and validating evacuation strategies taking into account the spatio-temporal distributions of floodings caused by dyke overtopping or dyke breaches, the existing distribution of people and housing space, the existing street network as well as the existing flood shelters in the study area. Thereby a route service is being utilized for various analysis purposes, this route service meets the specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).

The following features are implemented in Kalypso Evacuation:

Disaggregation of population data on the block scale on to single buildings,
Determination of catchments for public shelters, bus stops and flood save places,
Definition of evacuation bus lines,
Import of spatio-temporal distributions of inundations from scenario simulations,
Accessibility analysis of buildings to be evacuated taking spatio-temporal distributions of inundations into account,
Accessibility analysis for evacuating buildings to assigned flood shelters taking spatio-temporal distributions of inundations into account,
Elicitation of means for vertical evacuations inside of buildings taking spatio-temporal distributions of inundations into account,
Determination of critical times for bus line operations and
Determination of alert times for the evacuation process on the basis of available transport capacities and temporal distributions of people arriving at bus stations.

Kalypso Evacuation is equipped with an interface to Kalypso Flood.
