A tight coupling of simulation and optimization methods in evacuation planning provides a better informed, more realistic picture of what would happen in case of a disaster than any of the two methods would provide on its own.
See how we (aka Heng-Soon Gan, Kai-Florian Richter, Mingzheng Shi, Stephan Winter) have done it in our latest paper Integration of simulation and optimization for evacuation planning, which has just been published in Simulation Modeling Theory and Practice.
