Abstract(in English) In a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake, it is necessary to evacuate quickly and safely. For this purpose, it is important to smoothly share information about the affected roads among evacuees. However, in a large-scale disaster, communication infrastructures may become damaged and unusable, or there may be power outages. As an alternative communication method, the concept of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), in which mobile terminals communicate directly with each other without using the communication infrastructure, has been proposed for use during disasters. However, when using DTN, nearby mobile terminals need to exchange road information many times, which increases power consumption. In addition, when a power failure occurs during a disaster, the battery of the mobile terminal may not be able to be recharged, so it is important to reduce the power consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes the placement of information boxes that store location information of damaged roads in multiple locations. By exchanging such road information through the information boxes, i.e., uploading and downloading information at the information boxes, it is expected to significantly reduce the power consumption of mobile terminals. We also propose a method to determine the placement of the information boxes by considering the estimated number of evacuees passing through and their dispersion. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method by numerical evaluation using a multi-agent simulation.
