Abstract
This paper describes new ITS potential application for natural disaster protection. In general ITS application is mainly for safety and efficiency of transportation system such as collision avoidance in cross section, traffic jam avoidance by route guide and or jam information in advance. The specification of ITS in this paper has been defined by ES202 663/EN102 731 in Europe and IEEE802.11p/1609 in North America. There are also several projects for field trial test in worldwide too. After March 11th 2011 big earthquake in Japan, probing data has been recognized to be useful for understanding situation of natural disaster attack such as Tsunami. One good example is to identify roads condition. The collected probing information from driving cars at stricken district shows survived roads and damaged roads. This kind of application is good usage not only normal safety traffic application. Therefore author tries to use ITS application for escape guidance for transportation from Tsunami and mass safety tools. In order to show effectiveness for this ITS natural disaster protection system, author takes detail investigation and analysis for several potential locations. One is identifying enough coverage for expecting damage area. Two is avoiding personal vehicles and use mass transportation for evacuation from stricken district. Three is using local communication system in case of limitation of public communication system such as cellular phone and out of power supply.
