Reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake and ITS

Abstract

    East Japan Great Earthquake, we were keenly aware that it is so difficult to protect human life. Taking count of the earthquake damage in transportation infrastructure, this report discuss about how to use the ITS for the future reconstruction of the area. In particular, based on the lessons from the disaster, not only disaster prevention measures but also a combination of disaster mitigation measures to minimize the damage, we named it “disaster endurance measures”, are important. In terms of implementation of new disaster endurance measures concept, this report explains how ITS works well.
