Outline of Final Research Achievements

An AED taxi operation model and a life-saving drone operation model were proposed for Chiba, and the effectiveness of their introduction was verified: the overlap situation by multiple AEDs was checked to ensure the reliable transport of AEDs; the overlap situation of AED taxis varied greatly in each ward due to the condition of the road network and other factors; and the four-minute coverage area of AED taxis was The effectiveness of overlapping coverage with lifesaving drones was demonstrated.
The effectiveness of AED taxis was verified by incorporating into the model the tendency of tourists to use taxis in Kyoto, where the taxi operation pattern is different from that of Chiba. It was found that the use of taxis by tourists contributes to the expansion of the overlapping coverage area covered by multiple vehicles, and that the characteristics of the area away from tourist attractions and stations where the continuous operation of installed AEDs is essential were clarified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

AEDは台数増加に反して利用が進まず、新たに増えすぎたAEDの維持管理の問題が発生しており、発想の転換が必要になっている。成立可能な地域は限定されるものの、ドライバーの高い普通救命講習受講率を誇る既存タクシーと、近年急速に普及したドローンを活用してAEDが現場に向かう仕組みが高いカバー率を実現可能であることを示したことは、救命効果の高さだけにとどまらず、現場でAEDを誰が操作するのかという問題や、導入および維持管理コストの合理化を同時に解決する可能性を有しており、実効性と持続可能性の観点においてもその社会的意義は大きい。
