Fujitsu has developed a system that uses the supercomputer "Tomitake" to instantly predict the damage to the city area caused by the tsunami and display it on an app on a smartphone.
We aim to lead to prompt evacuation behavior of residents.
Tohoku University, the University of Tokyo, and Fujitsu are using the supercomputer "Tomitake" to research tsunami prediction technology using AI = artificial intelligence.
Using this technology, it is possible to predict the arrival time of a tsunami and the depth of inundation in units of 3 meters square, and Fujitsu has recently developed a system that displays that data on a smartphone app.
You can send a message to people in dangerous places with the app to call for evacuation, or notify you if there are places that you cannot pass during evacuation.
Fujitsu, in cooperation with Kawasaki City, aims to further improve the accuracy by repeating evacuation drills using this app, which will lead to prompt evacuation behavior of residents.
Yusuke Oishi, a senior researcher at the Fujitsu Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, who develops the product, said, "I think that smartphones that many people are accustomed to use are effective for disaster countermeasures. I want to go. "
