Quantitative Research of the Impact of Wide-area Movement of Stranded Commuters on Evacuation for Post-earthquake Fire

--A Case Study of Simulation of Evacuation Behavior in Tokyo Metropolitan Area--

Abstract

In this study, I combined a wide-area movement simulation after a great earthquake and a narrow-area simulation of urban fire evacuation behavior in the northern part of Sumida-ku, Tokyo. This method made it possible to quantify the impact of the wide-area movement of stranded commuters on their evacuation behavior from urban fires at post-earthquke.
