Abstract

Landslides, as one of the major natural hazards, account each year for enormous property damage in terms of both direct and indirect costs. Mountain roads where probability of land sliding is the highest, causes hurdles not only in the traffic flow but generate various traffic problems in the form of congestion, high accidents rate and waste of time. This paper introduces an agent-based model for modeling and simulation of the effects of landslide on the circulation of transports on mountain roads. This model is applied to the National Road No6 of Vietnam to visualize and analyze the effects of landslide on the road when it occurs. This model could help us to improve and optimally organize of landslide warning and rescue system on the road.
