Many casualties have been caused by sudden disasters such as terrorism and fires all over the world. Such disasters are disasters that first occur in local areas and then spread. We are conducting research and development of an Emergency Rescue Evacuation Support System (ERESS) for the purpose of promptly detecting the occurrence of such a local sudden disaster and providing disaster information with real-time characteristics to the evacuees. This system uses sensors mounted on mobile terminals such as smartphones to quickly detect disasters by collecting data on human movements via wireless communication. In the conventional ERESS, the evacuation route when a disaster occurs at one place is displayed on the terminal and evacuation guidance is performed, but evacuation guidance for multiple disasters is not considered. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an evacuation guidance method in a disaster at multiple locations. Evacuation guidance experiments have been conducted in a disaster at multiple locations to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
