Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a cellular automaton model for the evacuation of an emergency vehicle (EV) in highways. To facilitate the evacuation of the EV, some additional lane-changing rules (pull over of ordinary vehicles) are introduced in a two-lane cellular automata model for traffic flow in highway. We find that this pulling over of ordinary vehicles promotes a faster moving of the EV in traffic flow and minimize the EV's impact on the overall traffic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
