Towards an Integrated Earthquake Disaster Simulation System

چکیده
This paper introduces the overall structure of an integrated earthquake disaster simulation system which is being developed under five year Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas supported by the MEXT of Japan. This project aims to connect in a unity more than a dozen of simulators for individual natural phenomena and human activities involved in a big urban earthquake disaster, in order to analyse and predict the disaster progress as accurately as possible for reducing the disaster damage. We describe the requirements and issues of this simulation system, and then sketch the outline of the overall structure.

Interactive approach for GIS-based earthquake scenario development and resource estimation (Karmania hazard model)
The Karmania Hazard Model (KHM) is a GIS-based application for earthquake scenario development and disaster management. The lack of integrated and automated tools for estimating resources needed in the aftermath of an earthquake during the disaster response phase motivated the design and implementation of a comprehensive, interactive, and user-friendly model. This model draws on datasets integr...
متن کاملDevelopment of Prototype of Integrated Earthquake Disaster Simulator Using Digital City and Strong Ground Motion Simulator with High-resolution
An analysis method called macro-micro analysis method has been proposed to compute strong ground motion distribution with highest spatial and temporal resolution, which is based on multi-scale analysis. Strong ground motion (SGM) simulator with high-resolution is developed using this analysis method. Basic validity is verified by comparison with measured data. Prototype of Integrated Earthquake...
متن کاملApplication of High Performance Computing to Earthquake Hazard and Disaster Estimation in Urban Area
Integrated earthquake simulation (IES) is a seamless simulation of analyzing all processes of earthquake hazard and disaster. There are two difficulties in carrying out IES, namely, the requirement of large-scale computation and the requirement of numerous analysis models for structures in an urban area, and they are solved by taking advantage of high performance computing (HPC) and by developi...
متن کاملEarthquake Disaster Simulation in Immersive 3D Environment
Human response to any adverse situation can be greatly enhanced through training and mind-body experience. Earthquake is one such phenomenon where human response to minimise injuries/deaths is constrained due to disorientation of the victims. People in regions with frequent earthquakes often exhibit better response due to past experience. Training of the mind and body can also be achieved in a ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Simulation of Tsunami Hazard and Human Evacuation in La Punta, Peru
The 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami was a magnitude 9.0 Mw event that destroyed most structural tsunami countermeasures. However, approximately 90% of the estimated population at risk from the tsunami survived due to a rapid evacuation to higher ground or inland. Thus, tsunami evacuation is the most effective measure to reduce casualties. In this paper, we applied a new developed e...
