Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the influence of time required to begin coping behaviors of managers in chemical terrorism. In order to calculate the damage of chemical attacks in a major rail station, our network model-based pedestrian simulator was applied with hazard prediction systems of indoor gas diffusion. Our analysis was used for enlightening the managers of the rail station in a tabletop exercise held by Kitakyushu City Fire and Disaster Management Department.
