| Abstract(in English) | Various natural calamities, including earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, are being observed throughout the world. In particular, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami resulted in extensive destruction, making the need for mitigating strategies to reduce the damage from earthquakes and tsunamis imperative. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have gained traction as a possible remedial solution for these disasters, with proposals to utilize UAVs in conjunction with smartphones and IoT devices to transmit information concerning damage assessment and evacuation to those in need of relocation. However, many existing methods rely on obtaining disaster information from sensor devices situated on the ground, which can lead to information inadequacy and ineffectual disaster relief in case of destruction to communication infrastructure such as cell phone base stations and ground-based sensors during a calamity. Additionally, most UAVs in use are commercially available small UAVs, which are insufficient for conducting exhaustive and prolonged searches for evacuees. This paper presents a new evacuation guidance system that blends different categories of UAVs, namely, large and small UAVs, with mobile devices such as smartphones. The large UAV, carrying the small UAV, conducts evacuation searches, determining the accessibility of roads based on aerial images taken, and calculating the quickest route between evacuees and refuge sites via only accessible roads. If the mobile device of the evacuee can communicate with the UAV, the large UAV sends the evacuation route, but if communication is unavailable, the small UAV separates from the large UAV and guides the evacuee to safety. The efficacy of the proposed evacuation guidance system is tested and validated through simulations, demonstrating that it results in safe and efficient evacuation. |
