Abstract

The downpour which had occurred in Nagoya city area from September 11 to 12, 2000 had caused severe damage to the city’s traffic network, and highlighted the problem about the method of giving information, traffic management, and driver’s behavior under the downpour. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on automobile traffic, and aim to consider the traffic information and traffic management for promoting driver’s appropriate behavior under a heavy rainfall disaster. Especially, we analyze driver’s consciousness and activity under downpour by using driver’s experience data, and develop departure behavioral models of drivers under downpour in order to analyze the relationship between the driver’s departure behavior and the traffic network and rainfall situation.
