The purpose of this study is to investigate the representation of driver behavior under extreme conditions, towards development of a micro-simulation modeling framework of traffic flow to support evaluation of management strategies and measures in emergency situations. To accomplish this objective, particular attention is given to understanding and representing “panic behavior“…
