Optimizing Tsunami Evacuation Paths and Shelters for Patong Beach, Phuket: A Topological Approach
Abstract
Our study proposes new paths and shelter locations for Patong Beach, leveraging topology and slope simulations to cut evacuation times to 23.73 mins, significantly improving safety by 27.14% compared to current routes and shelters.
