Outline of Final Research Achievements

After the severe disaster like the Great East Japan Disaster, delivering the aid materials becomes difficult due to the roads being devastated. In this study, a mathematical model for selecting the optimal efficient route for delivering aid materials is made based on the Agent-Based Model (ABM). Additionally, delivering the aid materials became difficult due to the shortage of car fuel and confusion at the stockyard. In this study, a mathematical model for selecting the optimal efficient route for delivering the aid materials using the queue to consider the delay is made. The example is shown that delivering the aid materials by cars to Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku, which is postulated to be damaged severely by the Nankai Trough Earthquake.
