Real Time Evacuation Planning Model (RtePM)A Decision Support Tool for Emergency Managers and First RespondersUsing RtePM Evacuation Planning ToolYou should now see a window with two repositories for evacuation scenarios (Figure 3). They are titled“My Private Scenarios” (upper half) and “Public Scenarios” (lower half). Within both repositories arecolumn headings titled as follows: “Name” (scenario title), “Simulation Results” (evacuation duration)and “Last Modified” (date and time last edited). The “lock” icon, , in the Public Scenarios window inthe lower repository indicates the scenario is locked and can only be edited by the creator. An additionalicon, , not shown indicates another user is currently editing a scenario. This feature prevents morethan one user from editing a scenario at the same time. Also note that the “New” and “Import” buttons atthe bottom of the window are the only available options at this time. Accessing the full range of optionsis discuss on the following pages.Figure 3Clicking on the right-pointing triangles to the left of each evacuation time (Figure 4) expands the“Simulation Results” column. The icons, and indicates the simulation was successfullycompleted and the simulation has changed since the displayed result was provided, respectively.Figure 43
Real Time Evacuation Planning Model (RtePM)A Decision Support Tool for Emergency Managers and First RespondersFigure 5 is another view of Figure 4 and now shows a series of additional options along its lower edge.This expanded range of options is activated when you click on any existing scenario. Reading from leftto right, the options are “New”, “Import”, “Summary”, “Edit”, “View”, “Export”, and “Delete”. A briefdescription of each follows beginning with the “Import” and “Export” options and ending with the “New”option.Figure 5The “Import” and “Export” options allow a user to transfer .xml file formatted evacuation scenarios anddata to and from RtePM, respectively (Figure 6).Figure 6The “Summary” option (Figure 7) allows users to view the full summary of a scenario showing detailssuch as date, time and configuration inputs used, etc.Figure 74
