A Study on Untying Jam of Walkers to Go Home during an Urban Earthquake Disaster

Abstract

In a big city, there are many commuters and temporary visitors for shopping, eating and drinking. If they encounter a great earthquake in downtown area, they are left there due to the paralysis of the traffic system. Many of them have to go back home on foot. But it's seems to be difficult for them to go home on foot smoothly, due to fire, liquefaction and traffic control on their way home. So, in this study, we focus routes of walker to go home, and analyze jam of them.
