Abstract

In this paper, we apply an exhaustive analysis to large-scale pedestrian flow in evacuating against tsunami. The exhaustive analysis is a method for understanding the tendency of behavior of a social system based on massive simulation scenarios. With the pedestrian simulation environment, we verify evacuation plan from the point of view of the number of the evacuees and overlapping of evacuation routes. As a result of our exhaustive analysis with 17,496 scenarios, especially in the case with many evacuees, an evacuation plan is required to guide evacuees to prevent from concentration rather than guide to nearby evacuation facilities.
