Research Type Experimental Experimental results on a real case study show that the two-stage approach produces better primal bounds than the MIP model and is two orders of magnitude faster; It also produces dual bounds stronger than the linear relaxation of the MIP model. Finally, simulations of the evacuation demonstrate that convergent evacuation plans outperform existing approaches for realistic driver behaviors.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 The two-stage Algorithm TDFS for the CEPP; Algorithm 2 The two-stage Algorithm TDFS-CT for the CEPP with Minimization of the Clearance Time
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement about releasing source code or provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using data from a 'real case study' of the Hawkesbury-Nepean (HN) floodplain and describes its characteristics (nodes, edges, time horizon, scaled instances) but does not provide a link, DOI, or a citation to a publicly accessible version of this specific dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits. It evaluates on different problem instances (HN80-Ix) but does not detail data partitioning for model training or validation.
Hardware Specification Yes The algorithms were implemented using JAVA 7 and GUROBI 5.6 and the results were obtained on 64bits machines with 2.8GHz AMD 6Core Opteron 4184 and 32Gb of RAM.
Software Dependencies Yes The algorithms were implemented using JAVA 7 and GUROBI 5.6
Experiment Setup Yes The time horizon H spans 10 hours discretized into 5 minutes time-steps. For each iteration of TDFS, we allocate 30s for each call to TDP. ...the TDP-CT model is stopped after 30s when the duality gap is lower than 1%.
