How can I use ICT in the event of a major earthquake or a tsunami disaster (Part 1) Softbank's autonomous drone put supplies at evacuation centers in Wakayama Suisami -cho.

Softbank held a disaster prevention drill and ICT's support for victims in Wakayama Prefecture on November 7 (Sunday), in conjunction with the World Tsunami Day (November 5).It was held by the "Susami Smart City Promotion Consortium Disaster Prevention Working Group", and was conducted in the form of training and exhibition mainly by SoftBank as a secretary company.The Nankai Trough Earthquake has been released to the assumption of Wakayama Prefecture, and the provisions of isolated evacuation shelters and their evacuation centers are in detail, and the procedures for transporting emergency supplies by autonomous drone to evacuation centers have been published in detail.

When large -scale earthquakes and typhoons occurred, it was an event where smart city -related ICT technology could support the disaster -stricken areas, the current situation and future issues.On the day, a large drone delivery demonstration was scheduled, but unfortunately the drone was not possible because a strong wind of 15m or more was blowing above the sky (in this article, the test flight in advance.Published videos).

In Japan, large disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, and it has been reported that the probability of a large "Nankai Trough Earthquake" within 30 years is 70-80%.In the TV drama "Sinking Japan" depicting earthquakes and disasters, many readers are worried about what the actual situation is going on.

If the "Nankai Trough Earthquake" occurs, Wakayama Prefecture is also expected to cause major damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami, so based on the simulation, we have confirmed specific preparations and measures for it.

The "Road Station Susami", which is also close to Nanki Shirahama, which is famous for its sightseeing spots, was selected on June 11, 3 to "Disaster Prevention Road Station", which has a wide -area disaster prevention base function.In other words, in the event of a disaster, this "Roadside Station Susami" plays a role as a base that supports many evacuation centers, including a isolated place.In the event of a tsunami, it is expected that many shelters will be isolated if more than 10 National Route 42, which is a lifeline for transportation around the suzami, is cut off, although the size of the tsunami occurs.

If you fall into such a situation, the following tasks will be given.In addition to securing conventional "infrastructure" and "clothing and shelter", "satellites and health" are also important in the background of corona virus measures.

インフラ・情報の取得管理、共有・各避難所までの物流網の確保衣・食・住・汎用的に活用できる衣類の確保・供給可能な食料の確保・暑さや寒さの緩和可能な寝床の確保衛生・健康・感染症対策を徹底した衛生管理・体調管理を徹底した健康管理・体を清潔に保つ入浴環境の確保・清潔で十分な個数のトイレ確保

Each shelter has an emergency food, but it is natural that you want to eat warm food if you continue to evacuate.In addition, if you run out of daily necessities, such as clothing and diapers, you will need to replenish.Given that the national highway is blocked, drone air transport is enabled.This time, we could not do a demonstration due to strong winds, but originally the following routes, "Satono Evacuation Center" from "Roadside Station Susami" (assumed that it has been isolated), about 4 km in an air route."Onigiri and Ise shrimp miso soup" and "clothing" were planned to be airlaced by autonomous operation.

At present, drones are required to fly visually (it is possible to obtain visual permission by applying), so this time the ship is anchored in the "★" in the figure above, and the drone from the sea.I was planning to check it visually.Click here for a video of the pre -flight held on October 14.■ Demonstration to take off from the roadside station scissors (provided by Softbank)

■ Demonstration that lands at the Satono Assembly Center (evacuation center) (provided by Softbank)

The autonomous flight drone is an aircraft developed by Erlobotics.Utilizing the high -precision positioning service "Ichimill" (Ichimir) utilizing SoftBank's GNSS, it can fly and land with just a few centimeters.The weight (payload) of carrying luggage is 5 to 9 kg

It is inevitable that drone navigation is affected by the weather, but technically it is possible to fly even in the weather on the day.This time it was a demonstration, so safety was the highest priority, but it was decided to cancel the navigation, but if the human life was affected by an emergency operation, the special and permission would fly drones even in some bad weather.I expect that it will be issued (the author's expectation based on the interview).In any case, it is encouraging to have more options (options) for relief goods transportation at the time of road.In addition, in Susami -cho, Wakayama Prefecture, the same as the Eheslobotics, a demonstration that transports the specialty product "Susami Kenken bonito" with an automatic navigation drone to "Road Station Susami" about 3 km away from the landed on the shrine.

Well, there is something important before the drone sailing. That is, the information of the shelter, which is estimated to be in a few tens of locations, is smoothly shared and accurately processed. Speaking of this demonstration, the information is to share information about what kind of supplies are not enough at Satono evacuation centers and what kind of requests are. Susami Smart City Promotion Consortium and Softbank have developed and exhibited a system (Ururu is developed) that can be heard from representatives and evacuees of evacuation shelters. As a result, many evacuation shelters are shared by information gathering administrators without being left behind, and specific contents can be specifically indicated when and how and how and how and how and how they respond to the voice. One of the response is a drone's air transport, and the operation demonstration on the day will scoop up the demands of the evacuation centers, air transportation of food and supplies with drones, and return to the evacuation centers on the return route. It was scheduled to practice the mechanism and flow of air transport to a roadside station. Each company related to development is as follows.

We must anticipate not only the infrastructure that is cut off by the disaster, but not only the national highway.For example, electricity, water, communication, etc.In the second part of this report, I would like to focus on how smart city ICT technology can be dealt with for these infrastructure cuts.Continue to the second part.How can I use ICT in the event of a major earthquake or tsunami disaster (Part 2)?
