Abstract

In the modern society, the forms of disasters are getting larger and more diverse by abnormal weather phenomena due to rapid social changes. As human and economic damage is increasing by these disasters, interest in disaster observation and prevention is increasing and studies have been carried out in various fields. In order to minimize disaster damage, National Disaster Information Center provides disaster-related information such as disaster situations, risk index, local situation and so on. At present, however, various descriptive studies on action tips in the event of a disaster, disaster alert, disaster communications network have been in progress but there are few studies on prediction or simulation for preventing disasters etc. Therefore, this paper proposes a slope-based intelligent 3D disaster simulation using a physics engine. The proposed method is to infer a variety of disaster situations that may occur in reality through ontology and apply it to 3D simulation. Disaster situation ontology constitutes context information of outside, inside, disasters etc. and generates rule bases using Jena 2.0 inference engine. Inference results are derived in the form of XML and applicable to a variety of devices. The expression of 3D simulation virtual space is divided into interior and exterior. Interior constitutes the index information based on actually measured terrain and then expresses it into 3D compound type terrain data. Exterior expresses six planes into a hexahedron by using Sky Box technique. Simulation operates object collision, movement, surroundings etc. in real time by using a physics engine and represents a disaster situation in 3D virtual space by using particles function. Based on ontology based context awareness, environment context information on slope, including landslides, snow, rain, fogs, fire, explosion, and smoke, is developed into the slope based intelligent 3D disaster simulation. As a result, depending on geomorphic characteristics, disaster management service can realistically and visually be offered to users in 3D virtual reality. In addition, it is possible to experimentally apply disaster situations virtually through 3D virtual reality, and thereby judge their potential risk.
