TUNAMI-EVAC is a NetLogo agent-based model for tsunami evacuation analysis. The original model was developed by Erick Mas in 2012 as part of a PhD study at Tohoku University.
Version 2 migrates the model to NetLogo 7 and substantially improves pathfinding performance while retaining the established evacuation and hazard data. See CHANGELOG.md for the verified changes, benchmark conditions, and known limitations.
The model's development and applications are described in the included PhD thesis.
- Install NetLogo. Version 2.0.0 was verified with NetLogo 7.0.4.
- Download or clone this repository.
- Open
TUNAMI-EVAC2.nlogoxin NetLogo. - Press setup for the first run, configure the population and scenario controls, then press go.
Simulation outputs are written to the Output directory. The model depends on the bundled SpatialDB, TsunamiDB, Astar.nls, and Rayleigh.nls files, so keep the package directory structure intact.
