Abstract:
This paper proposes a route recommendation system in disaster-struck areas with consideration for the preferences of affected drivers. Although routes to a destination and traffic information such as congestion can be obtained easily, there are routes which disaster victims will wish to avoid. For example, when a tsunami warning has been made, it is necessary to avoid routes near the sea, and to take a safe route which is higher in elevation than the height of the tsunami. Accordingly, our proposed system searches for routes in consideration of the psychology of affected drivers. By searching for an appropriate route for affected drivers, it is expected that smooth road traffic can become a reality without causing road congestion.
