A study on regional urban disaster prevention plans of Otsu city, Shiga prefecture by using of evacuation simulation and multi-agent pedestrian model

Abstract

Our regional cities are always scared to big fire accident or earthquake every day. But the number of capacity of shelter does not increase, because budget shortfall of local governments might not take them in action. In contrast, Wide-area evacuation simulation can easily figure out the image to antagonize the regional urban disaster. And more, it can calculate the possibility of blocking escape route when the city is broken, and make safe evacuation plans before disaster occurs.
