Abstract

The recent rise in short, localized high-intensity torrential rainfall events leading to flooding from rivers, has generated a growing number of disasters affecting urban areas. Japan's railways restrict train operations according to precipitation and river water levels, however, these traffic control methods have not yet been adapted to cope with such short, intense downpours. A real-time rainfall runoff-flooding simulation method, which takes into account predicted rainfall therefore needs to be developed. This paper reports on evaluation results obtained to validate a simulation method.
