Unpredictable Disaster Evacuation Guide for Weak People by Real-Time Sensor Network, SNS and Maps

摘要

Tokyo residents should prepare predicted future potential great earthquakes similar to 2011 East Japan earthquake. We built an autonomous warning system with real-time sensor networks, SNS (twitter), disaster server, web server, and Google map server for signs of unpredictable disasters. We propose a new evacuation guide system based on the warning system, well designed for weak residents and visitors. We investigated on the effectiveness of collaborations, among real-time sensor network, SNS (twitter), evacuation maps with disaster knowledge, and evacuation wide area maps for unpredictable scale of disasters. We also discuss how the guide system with evacuation maps should be utilized by helpers in a district community for the evacuation of both weak people and new residents.
