A Study of Map Data Influence on Disaster and Rescue Simulation’s Results

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 325))

Abstract

Applying the agent-based simulation system to real cases requires the fidelity of the simulations. It is desired to simulate disasters situations under environments that are close to real ones qualitatively and quantitatively. Maps are a key component of the disaster and rescue simulation system. We propose a method to create more real maps using open GIS data and discuss the simulation results between two maps. Buildings data of one map is generated by programs and the other is created from real data. The experiments show clear difference between the simulation results, and the causes of the difference are discussed.
