| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunami and floods occur frequently. We need to determine and take a suitable shelter for enabling evacuation from tsunami waves when great earthquake occurs. We developed an evacuation guide supporting system using Internet of Things (IoT) Devices. Specifically, we proposed an agent-based evacuation guide supporting system. Our proposed system autonomously provides evacuation guidance according to the disaster situations by cooperating IoT devices. IoT devices are controlled by software agents. For example, we implemented the function provides efficient evacuation guidance by UAVs. The function provides searching evacuation guidance routes and cooperating other UAVs according to circumstances.
We performed some experiments to evaluate our proposal and carried out disaster drill in Iwaki city, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. We challenged to patrol around coastal area using UAVs in cooperation with fireman and fire engine.
