Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have developed Delay Tolerant Ad hoc Network in Disaster (DTAND) system, using home servers of a smart home system. The main purpose of this study is to support the rescue and the evacuation of residents immediately after the earthquake, with this system and mobile terminals equipped with its own apps. In three years of the study period, I developed the following three systems: rescue support system for victims buried in an earthquake disaster, stranded commuter support system, and tsunami evacuation support system. Its usefulness was evaluated by experiment and simulation.
