TSUNAMI EVACUATION SIMULATION WITH MULTI-AGENTS AND DECISION MAKING ON A COUNTERMEASURE WITH AHP

We propose an integration method that uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and agent-based modeling to simulate tsunami evacuation and to make decision on a countermeasure. First, we create multiagent coast models that include a tsunami agent, shelter agents, road agents and evacuee agents. We then estimate the evacuation success/failure number by using a computer simulation based on multiagent coast models. Finally, we use AHP to determine the countermeasure against tsunami disaster.
