Abstract
ABSTRACT Access to a wide range of information tailored to specific purposes, including extensive damage projections and statistics for target areas and the potential for individual building and dwelling damage predicted through simulations, enhances cities’ resilience against large-scale earthquakes. Recognizing the significance of this, we have developed a prototype of a digital twin capable of comprehensively visualizing various simulations on a web-based geographic information system (GIS) platform. This prototype employs three seismic damage simulators: the Integrated Earthquake Simulation for area damage, the wallstat for wooden houses, and the E-Simulator for a reinforced concrete building. A trial of earthquake damage simulations was conducted to assess this prototype’s efficacy, focusing on the damage incurred in Mashiki Town during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The trial successfully verified the capability of the system to visualize and integrate various types of simulation data alongside records obtained from actual earthquake disasters. This paper provides an overview of the digital twin prototype. It reports on the trial’s results, focusing on the visualization and integration achieved through this trial.
