Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method to provide the information of rest facility by utilizing Delay Tolerant Network (DTN). When public transport is stopped by the disaster, commuters try to go home on foot taking a rest at facility. However network infrastructure of the disaster area is disconnected by the disaster damage, commuters cannot get information of rest facility. Therefore we propose a method to exchange information of rest facility in possession between commuters via DTN through mobile device. Commuters can get information of rest facility under the situation without network infrastructure, and they will can take a rest at facility. We made the application to exchange the information of rest facility via DTN. In order to evaluate the application, we verified the communication performance. The experimental results showed the developed application had sufficient performance to exchange the information of rest facility via DTN.
