Abstract

At times of disaster, or immediately prior to such periods, smooth evacuation is a key issues. However, it is difficult to achieve, because people tend to panic when faced with disaster. This paper proposes a system that supports effective evacuation from danger using the framework of the Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP). The use of the DCOP facilitates the assisted optimization of people’s evacuation timing without a center server. This system enables assistance in terms of evacuation guidance to be given to relieve congestion, by calculating evacuation timing via an ad-hoc network of evacuees’ mobile devices (phones, PCs, etc.). In this paper, we focus on the formalization of the disaster evacuation problem and how to solve it using the framework of the Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem.
