Research for Technique of Gathering and Utilizing for SNS information Related to Traffic Phenomena

Abstract

In road projects, the Administrators have drawn the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) on the assumption that a large-scale disaster occurs. And based on this robust disaster prevention system, they have been working on maintenance and management of roads every day. To improve their work, we focus on SNS which has latent information can be used for grasping road’s status when a disaster occurs. In this research, in order to complement and expand existed information collecting systems owned by road administrators, we report the result of speedily collecting and analyzing technologies for the road information like disaster from SNS. In this paper, we conclude all results obtained from studies in the 3-years-plan targeting Hanshin expressway.
