Development of the Nankai Trough Disaster Simulation and Personal Digital Assistant

It is predicted that Nankai Trough Earthquake will occur in the near future in Japan. Based on this prediction, we develop the disaster simulation by Projection Mapping. Our study aims to promote disaster information visualization, disaster reduction education and voluntary/active individual behavior for disaster reduction. We mapped the video to the diorama of the three-dimensional map model of Aichi in Japan that was made by the 3D printer. It enables to present the hazard map that could only be transferred in a plane so far by three-dimensional way or animation. In addition, Nagoya Municipal Minato Disaster Prevention Center purchased this device on January 20, 2015, and set it as a permanent exhibition. This device is very popular and used by many children. We developed this study and ported a simulation equipment for application for smartphones. We utilized the data of disaster drills carried out in Minamichita and Utsumi area in Aichi, Japan and developed the location identification system and the refuge navigation system.
