In this research, the theory of the Most Augmenting Arcs (MAA) and system optimization with travel time constraint were applied to solve the Gathering and Evacuation Traffic Assignment Problems (GETAP). GETAP mostly occurred in an emergent or urgent situation. The Olympic games and emergency evacuations are good GETAP examples. For example, we need to plan how to transport audience from their origins to the stadium before Olympic games and transport audience from the stadium to their origins after the games. Since these emergent problems need to be solved in a short time, we might use network system optimization concept to solve these problems. An algorithm for the GETAP is also developed. First, the city street network is transferred as a s-t network. Secondly, the efficiency of the s-t network is evaluated by the maximum flow algorithm. If the current network is inefficient, i.e. the maximal flow is not large enough, the bottlenecks of the network will be found and improved by the most augmenting arc algorithm. The most augmenting arcs are those arcs which, when the capacities are augmented, can result in the greatest increase of the maximum flow of a given s-t network. In order to satisfy the system optimization, all vehicles have to drive according to the assigned paths. Finally, we used a simple example to show how to apply the proposed procedure to the considered transportation problems.
