Abstract

Flood frequently occurs in every 2-3 years in Savarkundla region leading to many regional traffic problems.
Evacuation of region on the riverbank is a crucial problem emphasized in past studies. To check the route availability for
evaluation of flood affected area needs to be carried out.
In present study the solution for this disastrous flood situation in terms of safe routes for evacuation has to be suggested
based on observed volume and recommended capacity for existing road network. The methodology includes calculation
of probable submerged area from contour map and identification of safe routes from existing road network by using the
observations of volume – capacity ratio of vehicles and pedestrians.
