Abstract(in English) When disasters occur, evacuees have to evacuate to safe place quickly. To tackle this problem, there has been proposed an automatic evacuation guiding scheme based on implicit interactions between evacuees and their mobile nodes. In this scheme, the shortest path is used for an evacuation route, which may not be safe. In this paper, we propose a path selection considering both length and reliability for the automatic evacuation guiding scheme, which allows evacuees to evacuate quickly while avoiding encounters with blocked road segments as much as possible. The proposed scheme first calculates $k$-shortest $(k geq 1)$ paths from the current location to the destination. Next, it selects the most reliable one from the candidates based on road blockage probabilities, each of which represents an estimated probability that the corresponding road is blocked due to disaster damage. Through simulation experiments, we show that the proposed scheme can reduce the number of encounters with blocked road segments by setting $k$ to be an appropriate value, while keeping average/maximum evacuation time compared with the shortest path selection.
