Development of Detour Route and Evacuation Route Guidance System Using Disaster Information

An Evacuation Route Planning for Safety Route Guidance System after Natural Disaster Using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm

When a natural disaster occurred, some roads cannot be used anymore and sometimes blocked. Also, survivors and refugees cannot follow the evacuation procedures by just using default maps after disaster. A previous study proposed a safety route guidance system that can be used after natural disasters by using participatory sensing. The system estimates safe routes and generates an evacuation map...

Development of an Adaptive Evacuation Route Algorithm under Flood Disaster

Flood disaster is often characterized by dangers that strengthen and spread over time (Opasanon S., 2004). Such dynamic situational changes over time might make the shortest route not always the optimal and safest one. From field surveys of real cases such as the Niigata flood disaster in 2004 (Gunma University, 2004; Intensive Heavy Rainfall Disaster Policy Committee, 2004), many people know w...

Dynamic Vehicular Route Guidance Using Traffic Prediction Information

We propose a dynamic vehicular routing algorithm with traffic prediction for improved routing performance. The primary idea of our algorithm is to use real-time as well as predictive traffic information provided by a central routing controller. In order to evaluate the performance, we develop a microtraffic simulator that provides road networks created from real maps, routing algorithms, and ve...

PaRE: A System for Personalized Route Guidance

The turn-by-turn directions provided in existing navigation applications are exclusively derived from underlying road network topology information, i.e., the connectivity of edges to each other. Therefore, the turn-by-turn directions are simplified as metric translation of physical world (e.g. distance/time to turn) to spoken language. Such translation that ignores human cognition of the geogra...
