AB This doctoral thesis deals with evacuation planning in urban areas. After a literature review at the beginning of the thesis, the Cell-Transmission model is utilized to formulate a basic mathematical optimization problem for evacuation planning with vehicles. Afterwards, an extended version of this basic optimization problem as well as several heuristic solution procedures to solve the optimization models are presented. Moreover, enhancements of the optimization models in terms of integrating rescue teams as well as pedestrians in evacuation planning are considered.
