DEVELOPMENT OF EASY-TO-USE EVACUATION SIMULATION SYSTEM WITH 3-D PRESENTAION

Abstract

 Evacuation drill in suc as voluntary organization for disaster prevention is important. However, it is not realistic to drill under the various conditions, because natural disasters can happen on any day and at any time. Recently, the studies on the evacuation simulation have been done to help to draw up scenarios of evacuation under the various situations. The achievement of such studies can be also applied to the virtual evacuation for those who can not take part in the drill. However, many obstacles in user-friendliness remain to promote the evacuation simulation to general public.
 An easy-to-use evacuation sysmulation system is developed, by which the procedure from the creation of the analytical model in the target area to the presentation of analytical results by 3D animation can be carried out in the simple manner.
