ユーザニーズを踏まえた水害被害軽減のための XバンドMPレーダの利活用方法の研究

抄録

It is envisaged that the newly introduced X Band MP (Multi Parameter) Radar will provide higher precision rainfall information compared to the conventional radar, contributing to river and disaster management in Japan. The objective of this research is to analyze the "needs" of the users for the MP radar from the perspectives of river managers, municipalities, general public, etc. It aims to propose the operational procedures to realize the functionalities demanded by the users, and to make recommendations for developing disaster evacuation support systems. The research involved the following elements:

-Conduct interviews with wide variety of users to analyze their needs for radar rainfall and disaster information

-Develop a prototype system for flood/inundation forecasting and flood disaster evacuation support system which disseminate information to mobile phones
