Research and Development on Management System for Mobility and Energy

Abstract

As an effort to support the earthquake disaster reconstruction of the northeast （Tohoku） region, the “Next generation Energies for Tohoku Recovery （NET） Project” was initiated in 2012. Under this project, Advanced Mobility Research Center （ITS Center）, Institute of Industrial Science （IIS）, The University of Tokyo and New Industry Creation Hatchery Center （NICHe）, Tohoku University has collaborated to promote the research and development of an integrated management system of energy and mobility that supports the sustainable development of disaster resilience regions. This study involves the survey studies of the mobility capability of disaster area residents （including the elderly） during normal and emergency conditions, and the formulation of basic human behavior models.
