Introduction
This document defines the framework and concept of operation for developing a public transport
decision support system for evacuations and disaster response and recovery. This includes establishing
the criteria under which public transport prepares for, responds to, and recovers from a disaster. The
criteria, as established by national, regional and local governance based on the type and severity of the
emergency, are used to identify the roles and responsibilities of public transport within the boundaries
of the Intelligent Transport System architecture. For example, the criteria for a localized disaster
such as a chemical plant fire will be governed by local or regional response plans and requires fast
response times. Whereas, a hurricane having a wider impact may be governed by national response
plans, as well as local and regional, and allow pre-planning to take place because they are typically
slower moving. It is important to emphasize that this document focuses only on those activities related
to ground transportation and does not address societal issues (i.e. sheltering, aid, security, etc.) nor
does it address air or rail transportation associated with disaster management. The reader is directed
to ISO/TC 292 for societal issues and to ISO/TC 20 SC 17 and ISO/TC 269 for air and rail transportation
issues associated with disasters. This document adheres to ISO 22300, which contains terms and
definitions applicable to societal security to establish a common understanding so that consistent
terms are used.
It is also important to note that this document relies on national, regional, and local policies and
authorities to create a concept of operation. The concept of operations defines the set of requirements
needed for designing, developing, and deploying a Decision Support System for evacuation and disaster
response and recovery. The Decision Support System is an interactive software-based system intended
to help public transport emergency services personnel compile useful information from a combination
of raw data, documents, and personal knowledge, or traffic models. This knowledge is then used to
identify and solve evacuation and disaster response and recovery problems and disseminate those
decisions to emergency managers, traffic managers, public transport, and the public itself. The Decision
Support System is a natural progression from Computer Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location
systems which has been the core Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) used by public transport. The
Decision Support System combines the use of traffic models and analytic techniques with traditional
ITS data access and retrieval functions to solve less well structured, underspecified evacuation and
disaster response and recovery problems that upper level managers may face in a disaster.
The goal of this document is to save lives and aid recovery by using ITS technologies to coordinate a
comprehensive transportation response to disaster. This includes using the Decision Support System
to identify routes and manage equipment and personnel to ensure public transport is used to evacuate
people out of harm’s way and provide transportation support for all response and recovery efforts from
major disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, or catastrophic accidents. This document recommends
public transport to serve as the primary mobility agent for all transportation-related actions before,
during and after a disaster. This represents a paradigm shift from past response and recovery
efforts such as the Great Japan Earthquake 2011 or Hurricane Katrina in the US, which typically see
transportation-related activities coordinated by emergency managers who rely on traffic managers
and public transport service operators to provide the services. While the emergency manager is the
responsible individual for any disaster and will continue to do so, the role of coordinating transportation
between traffic management, emergency services and public transport should be assigned to a public
transport professional. The reasoning for this shift of responsibility is that public transport has the
most experience and the resources to move large numbers of people efficiently and in a timely manner,
which is paramount before, during and after a disaster. This may present problems in rural areas as
ITS technologies, equipment and personnel may not be available to carry out these assignments.
Additionally, problems may exist due to differences in country-based operational methodology between
Asia, North America, and Europe. In Asia, public transport is predominantly run by privately owned
and publicly traded mass transit and real estate conglomerates. In North America, public transport
is predominantly run by municipal transit authorities. In Europe, public transport is predominantly
run by both public-owned and private companies. The ideal solution is to ensure that a public entity is
responsible for the public transport emergency management and that personnel operating the Decision
Support System are professionals from the public transport sector.

ISO/TR 19083-1:2016(E)

The ISO/TR 19803- series recommends the creation of a cloud-based Emergency Evacuation and
Disaster Response and Recovery (EEDRR) Decision Support System to assist, coordinate, and direct
all transportation services, including those used by emergency management, traffic management
and public transport. The cloud-based solution allows different services (i.e. servers, storage and
applications) to be delivered to emergency management/public transport computers and devices
through the Internet; thus, providing access to the EEDRR even when access to the physical area is
not possible because of the disaster. The major actors involved in coordinating transportation services
related to a disaster and the systems required for communicating the associated information are shown
in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Coordinated transportation services for disasters
As shown, there are eight major actors associated with transportation service during a disaster. Details
of the roles and responsibilities are included in 5.4. The actors are at a group level and may vary from
country to country. For instance, first responders include various people such as firefighter, emergency
medical personnel, and police. In addition to these, those people who are managing infrastructures like
electricity, water, sewage and gas play may also be part of the first responders. Moreover, individuals
such as teachers may also act as first responders and be responsible for taking care of their students. The
primary role and responsibility addressed by this family of standards is the coordination of emergency
transportation services through existing communication channels by professional transportation
planners and operators in public transport. The existing communication channels include emergency
communications systems (ECS) used by first responders, advanced traveller information systems
(ATIS) used by traffic managers, and passenger information systems (PIS) used by public transport.
The cornerstone of this document is the EEDRR Decision Support System which will maintain the data
and information sets used by public transport to make knowledgeable transportation-related decisions
during the chaotic times leading up to, during and after a disaster. Figure 1 depicts the EEDRR Decision
Support System being operated by public transport as part of emergency management. Transportation-

related information and data are collected from and transportation-related decisions and actions are
communicated to the other entities involved in the disaster.
The EEDRR Decision Support System is a computer-based transportation information system that
supports critical transportation-related decision making activities during a disaster. The EEDRR
Decision Support System is part of the Emergency Operations Centre and serves the emergency
management, operations, and planning levels of the emergency management organization where
planning levels mean those individuals who are responsible for planning the response as opposed
to those individuals that are performing the actions required in a response. This system is operated
by public transport emergency services personnel and helps to make transportation routing and
equipment and personnel resource decisions, which may be rapidly changing and not easily specified
in advance. It is an interactive software-based system that aids decision makers by compiling useful
information from a combination of raw traffic and public transport data, policy documents, personal
knowledge, and traffic models to identify and solve problems and assist transportation professionals
in decision making. To ensure the information is useful and the sources are reliable, requires that data
suppliers be vetted, data distribution networks are resilient, data management is expandable and
modular, and data processing is organized into thematic applications such as floods, hurricanes, fires,
earthquakes, etc.
Typical information that the EEDRR Decision Support System gathers and presents includes:
— local, regional, and national criteria for disaster evacuation, response, and recovery based on
policies, plans and directives;
— benchmark evacuation times established by evacuation plans through best practices, regulations,
or simulations;
— transportation resources available for evacuation, response, and recovery effort including traffic
management and public transport;
— digital maps, images, political boundaries, sensor data, integrated transportation network models
and other GIS related information;
— weather forecast, alerts, demand forecast, incident notification, and other real time information for
mitigating traffic delays;
— damage assessments, risk factors, situational analysis, desired outcomes, and other real time
information from field reporting;
— demographics for the regional population, passenger counts, special needs persons, and other
information needed to estimate/determine the number of car-less persons in an area of interest;
— social media reporting of situation awareness as reported from various social media outlets
(i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Line, Cyworld, Sina Weibo, etc.)
— and in the future, heuristic classifications that may be used to create an expert system as the use of
artificial intelligence matures.
The EEDRR Decision Support System is an information processing system that runs on the public
transport emergency services personnel PCs. The framework takes into account that each local
jurisdiction has its own requirements, and thus in order to be useful this set of international standard
should provide generic text that local jurisdictions can make distinctive to their own needs and
communities by adding to and/or replacing the generic text with specific details. ISO/TR 19083 includes
three parts:
— Part 1 — Framework and concept of operation for the use of public transport during an emergency
evacuation or large scale disaster
— Part 2 — Information flow between Public Transport Passenger Information Systems, Public
Transport Command and Control Systems, and Regional Emergency Operation Centres during a
