title: 'evacpath: Least-Cost Pedestrian Evacuation Modeling'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.evacpath
abstract: Tools for road-constrained, least-cost pedestrian evacuation modeling. The
  package provides reusable functions for preparing hazard zones, generating road-based
  evacuation origin points, identifying escape/safety points, creating slope-based
  conductance surfaces, calculating least-cost distance to safety, and converting
  distance outputs into evacuation-time polygons. It is designed to support workflows
  like tsunami evacuation modeling while remaining adaptable to other regions and
  hazards. Tsunami-specific helpers support separate land-only hazard zones, water-combined
  escape zones, road-aware escape boundaries, and study-area inset cropping for quality
  assurance and quality control. Methods build on Cordero et al. (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s44367-025-00018-y>,
  Lewis (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10816-021-09522-w>, and Joseph Lewis's 'leastcostpath'
  package (2023) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leastcostpath>.
