Research Activities

In the event of a tsunami disaster, quickness is required to move to a safe location, such as outside the flooded area, within a short period of time from the occurrence of the earthquake to the arrival of the tsunami. hence analyzing evacuation behavior using a multi-agent system, I aim to simulate the movements of individual residents or vehicles and build an evacuation behavior model for considering safe evacuation plans.
