| Summary | The simulation program about wide area evacuation was developed supposing the case where a fire breaks out after an earthquake. To simulate the evacuation, we made models for road network, collapsed building, fire building and evacuees or evacuation behavior. In these models, evacuees decide when they leave from their houses; where they go; which way they take in consideration of a fire situation, a road blockade by collapsed buildings, and a road congestion. By using this simulation program, it can contribute to promotion of the evacuate safety measures against urban fires caused by an earthquake. |
