Abstract:

In recent years, natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons have occurred frequently in Japan. In the case of a large-scale disaster, prompt and efficient rescue activities are required to protect the lives of the victims. In response to such natural disasters, the government and local governments formulate disaster prevention plans while considering the characteristics of each region to prepare for the occurrence of disasters. This paper introduces a transport simulator for injured people and analytical solution to estimate transportation performance considered in the disaster prevention plan. Using these tools, the analyses are carried out for a city, assuming a Tokyo Inland Earthquake. Transportation capability for the injured people is quantitatively clarified under multiple scenarios based on the regional disaster prevention plan and disaster medical relief plan. User of these analytical tools can consider more effective measures of rescue operation.
