Abstract
Our research goal is to develop evacuation guidance map systems for disaster situations such as major earthquakes. Our guidance system provides a safe-road map in disaster areas that is constructed based on ant colony systems. We describe a movement algorithm for evacuee agents utilizing an evacuation guidance system in a disaster simulator. In the simulators, evacuee agents move to safe shelters in accordance with information on the guidance system. We evaluated the effectiveness of the evacuation guidance systems using the movement algorithm. Experimental results show that the evacuee agents utilizing the guidance system can reach the shelters faster.
