Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an evacuation system and an evacuation method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis have been increasing, and evacuation drills and other training are being conducted to prepare for such natural disasters. In addition, at construction sites for public works and other projects, evacuation drills are conducted periodically during construction to ensure the safety of construction site workers. Evacuation drills are advance training conducted in anticipation of a disaster so that workers can act appropriately and quickly in the event of a disaster, and it is important to evacuate quickly to a safe evacuation site.

[0003] A system has been proposed for obtaining information about evacuees at evacuation sites when a disaster occurs, which is used to check the safety of evacuees at evacuation sites, etc., by obtaining a medium identification code from a specified medium carried by evacuees before a disaster occurs, and managing the code in association with personal information of the evacuees that is obtained separately after the disaster occurs (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-1762 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the above system requires acquiring personal information and managing information that includes it, which makes it time-consuming to acquire and input the personal information, and the system becomes complicated in terms of handling the information, making it difficult to use. Another problem is that evacuees do not necessarily bring the media identification codes that were read before the disaster to the evacuation shelter.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and aims to provide an evacuation system and evacuation method that enables quick and smooth evacuation to a highly safe evacuation site during training or when a disaster occurs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An evacuation system according to one aspect of the present invention is a system that provides evacuation during training or in the event of a disaster conducted by a business operator managing a construction site, and includes a means for the business operator or an expert designated by the business operator to determine in advance an evacuation location during training or in the event of a disaster at the start of or before the start of work at the construction site, a plurality of IC cards each having a unique ID number stored thereon that are distributed to participants receiving evacuation training at the evacuation location or to evacuees during evacuation, and an information terminal managed by the business operator and having specified software installed.The information terminal has an input means for inputting location information of the construction site or the evacuation location, a reading means for reading the IC card in close proximity, and a storage means for storing the location information and the ID number of the IC card, and is characterized in that by reading the IC card distributed to the participant or evacuee at the evacuation location in close proximity to the information terminal, the IC card is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal as a record of the participant's or evacuee's entry into the evacuation location.

[0008] According to this configuration, at the start of or before construction begins at the construction site, the business operator managing the construction site, who is an expert in the civil engineering field, or an expert designated by the business operator, determines in advance evacuation sites for training or in the event of a disaster, thereby making it possible to determine safe evacuation sites and evacuation routes and to determine highly safe evacuation sites.

[0009] In addition, each participant or evacuee can be identified by simply bringing the IC card close to an information terminal and reading it, and there is no need for each participant or evacuee to write their name, so even if a large number of participants or evacuees crowd into evacuation sites during training or when a disaster occurs, reception operations can be carried out quickly and smoothly. There is no need to enter personal information about each participant or evacuee, and the system itself is easy to use. In addition, since there is no need to write anything on paper, as the IC card can be read by simply bringing it close to an information terminal, it can also be used by foreigners visiting from overseas who cannot speak the language.

[0010] In addition, IC cards with unique ID numbers stored on them are distributed to participants taking part in evacuation drills at evacuation sites or to evacuees during evacuation. By reading the IC card close to an information terminal, the ID number of the participant or evacuee is linked to the participant or evacuee as a record of their entry into the evacuation site and saved, so that the status of the participant or evacuee can be saved even if they evacuate empty-handed.

[0011] In addition, since the information terminal has a storage means for storing the location information of the construction site or evacuation site and the ID number of the IC card, the location information and ID number can be stored even when there is no Internet connection.

[0012] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that the IC card has printed thereon a simplified number consisting of a small number of numbers or letters different from the ID number, and when the IC card is brought close and read, the simplified number is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal, or the evacuation system is provided with a means for inputting the simplified number, and by inputting the simple number, the simplified number is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal.

[0013] According to this configuration, a simplified number consisting of a small number of digits or letters, different from the ID number, is printed on the IC card, so by using the simplified number as the name of the participant or evacuee, it is possible to identify each participant or evacuee without printing personal information such as name on the IC card. The simplified number is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal, making it easy to identify the participant or evacuee.

[0014] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that when evacuation during a training exercise or when a disaster occurs is completed and the participant or evacuee leaves the evacuation site, the IC card distributed to the participant or evacuee is read in close proximity to the information terminal, and the IC card is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal as a record of the participant or evacuee's departure from the evacuation site, and the IC card distributed to the participant or evacuee is collected.

[0015] According to this configuration, when a participant or evacuee leaves the evacuation site, the IC card is linked to the ID number and saved in the terminal as a record of the evacuation by simply bringing the IC card close to the information terminal and reading it. Therefore, since each participant or evacuee is identified by the ID number on the IC card, the exit information of each participant or evacuee can be saved and recorded even if they evacuate without anything. Also, since the exit record can be created by simply bringing the IC card close to the information terminal and reading it, the exit reception can be performed quickly.

[0016] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that when the participant or evacuee leaves the evacuation site, the IC card distributed to the participant or evacuee is read by bringing the IC card close to the information terminal and storing the IC card in the information terminal as a record of the participant or evacuee leaving the evacuation site, linked to the ID number.

[0017] According to this configuration, when a participant or evacuee leaves the evacuation site, the IC card is linked to the ID number and saved in the terminal as a record of leaving the evacuation site by simply bringing the IC card close to the information terminal and reading it. Therefore, since each participant or evacuee is identified by the ID number on the IC card, even if they evacuate without anything, the departure information of each participant or evacuee can be saved and recorded. In addition, since the IC card can be recorded as a record of leaving the evacuation site by simply bringing the IC card close to the information terminal and reading it, it is possible to quickly accept the departure.

[0018] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that the information terminal includes an imaging means for imaging the participants or the evacuees.

[0019] According to this configuration, since the information terminal is equipped with an imaging means for imaging the participant or evacuee, the participant or evacuee is imaged by the information terminal, and the image information such as the participant's or evacuee's face is linked to the ID number and stored in the terminal, so that the image information can be registered in the participant or evacuee information. Also, the captured face image of the person can be used for face authentication, etc.

[0020] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that the information terminal includes a means for inputting at least one of the gender, age, and physical condition of the participants or evacuees.

[0021] According to this configuration, the information terminal is equipped with a means for inputting at least one of the gender, age, and physical condition of the participants or evacuees, so that information on the participants or evacuees who have entered the evacuation site can be stored and understood in the information terminal.

[0022] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that the information terminal further comprises a means for an administrator who manages the information terminal to input text obtained by hearing from the participants or evacuees.

[0023] According to this configuration, the device further includes a means for inputting the text heard from participants or evacuees, so that, for example, information about whether or not a participant or evacuee has a chronic illness or injury and their condition can be stored in the information terminal and understood.

[0024] This evacuation system is also characterized by comprising a notification means for notifying the participants or local residents within a predetermined range who may become evacuees of the evacuation site.

[0025] According to this configuration, since the means for informing local residents in a predetermined area who may become participants or evacuees of evacuation sites is provided, it is possible to reliably inform more local residents in a predetermined area who may become participants or evacuees of evacuation sites. It is also possible to raise the awareness of local residents about the danger of natural disasters and contribute to the creation of a safe and secure town.

[0026] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that when the participants or evacuees receive their relief supplies, their IC cards are read in close proximity to the information terminal, and the fact that the relief supplies have been received is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal.

[0027] According to this configuration, when a participant or evacuee receives relief supplies, the IC card is simply brought close to an information terminal and read, and the IC card is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal as a receipt of the relief supplies. Therefore, by simply bringing the IC card close to an information terminal and reading it, it is possible to know whether the relief supplies have been received or not, and therefore the relief supplies can be promptly and appropriately distributed.

[0028] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that it comprises two sets each comprising the information terminal and the plurality of IC cards, and one information terminal is capable of reading and storing both one of the plurality of IC cards and the other plurality of IC cards, and the other information terminal is capable of reading and storing both one of the plurality of IC cards and the other plurality of IC cards.

[0029] According to this configuration, when two sets of information terminals and multiple IC cards are used, for example in cases where there are two evacuation sites, the status of evacuees can be confirmed on either information terminal regardless of which evacuees evacuate to which evacuation site or if they move from one evacuation site to another.

[0030] Also, this evacuation system is characterized in that the one information terminal and the other information terminal are capable of synchronizing with each other.

[0031] According to this configuration, by synchronizing the two information terminals, the situations of the evacuees at the two evacuation sites can be grasped by each information terminal. Moreover, the synchronization of the two information terminals can be performed using, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0032] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of the information terminals and a cloud server capable of communicating with the information terminals and a management terminal, data stored in the information terminals can be stored in the cloud server, and the data stored in the plurality of the information terminals can be viewed by accessing the cloud server from the information terminal and entering an ID and a password.

[0033] According to this configuration, by accessing the cloud server from an information terminal and entering an ID and password, it is possible to view data stored on multiple information terminals, thereby making it possible to grasp the situation at other evacuation sites.

[0034] This evacuation system is also characterized in that the cloud server stores in advance data on a plurality of designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government.

[0035] According to this configuration, since the data of multiple designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government is stored in advance in the cloud server, it becomes easy for the contractor or an expert designated by the contractor to determine the evacuation sites in advance at the time of or before the start of work at the construction site. Also, it becomes easy to input the location information of the evacuation sites.

[0036] Furthermore, this evacuation system is characterized in that the cloud server is capable of registering data on evacuation locations determined by a business operator or an expert designated by the business operator, other than the multiple designated evacuation locations designated by the national or local government.

[0037] According to this configuration, data on evacuation sites determined by businesses or experts designated by businesses other than the multiple designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government can be registered. Therefore, in addition to the multiple designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government, data on evacuation sites determined by businesses who are experts in the civil engineering field or experts designated by businesses is registered on the cloud server, allowing more safe evacuation sites to be shared.

[0038] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that, when all of the participants or evacuees have left the premises and the evacuation has ended, data other than the location information of the evacuation site is stored for a certain period of time and then deleted on the cloud server, while the location information of the evacuation site is stored without being deleted.

[0039] According to this configuration, when all participants or evacuees have left the premises and the evacuation is completed, data other than the location information of the evacuation site is stored for a certain period of time and then deleted, so participants or evacuees can use the system with peace of mind. Meanwhile, the location information of the evacuation site is stored without being deleted, so the location information of the evacuation site can be effectively used during subsequent training or when a disaster occurs.

[0040] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that the means for determining evacuation locations in advance during the training or in the event of a disaster determines multiple evacuation locations, and at each of the multiple evacuation locations, the IC card distributed to the participant or evacuee is read in close proximity to the information terminal, and the IC card is linked to the ID number and stored in the information terminal as a record of the participant's or evacuee's entry into the evacuation location.

[0041] According to this configuration, the means for determining the evacuation location during training or in the event of a disaster can determine a plurality of evacuation locations. When there are participants or evacuees who need to be isolated due to poor health, infectious diseases, etc., the participants or evacuees who need to be isolated can be accommodated in another evacuation location.

[0042] In addition, this evacuation system is characterized in that it includes means for providing an ID and a PASS to the country or local government to access the cloud server and view the data stored in the plurality of information terminals.

[0043] According to this configuration, by providing an ID and a PASS for the country or local government to access the cloud server and view the data stored in the plurality of information terminals, the country or local government can view the data stored in the plurality of information terminals and quickly grasp the general situation of the evacuation locations. In addition, this data can be reflected in the formulation of future disaster countermeasure materials and evacuation training plans by the country or local government.

[0044] In addition, an evacuation method according to one aspect of the present invention is an evacuation method for providing evacuation during training or in the event of a disaster by an operator who manages a construction site. After reading the information terminal and the IC card by bringing the IC card close to the information terminal, the IC card is held by the participant or evacuee, and the ID number stored in the IC card is stored together with the information already entered in the information terminal as the number corresponding to the participant or the evacuee.

Effect of the Invention

[0045] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an evacuation system and an evacuation method that can quickly and smoothly evacuate to a highly safe evacuation location during training or in the event of a disaster.

[Figure 4] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the results of a questionnaire survey of participants in an evacuation drill according to the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0047] An evacuation system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0048] <1. Configuration of the evacuation system> 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an evacuation system according to this embodiment. This evacuation system mainly comprises a cloud server 10, an information terminal 20 managed by a business operator, a management terminal 30, a national / local government terminal 40, and an Internet line connecting these components, and is configured so that the cloud server 10, the information terminal 20, the management terminal 30, and the national / local government terminal 40 can communicate with each other via the Internet line.

[0049] The cloud server 10 has a functional configuration including a memory unit 11 that stores location information of evacuation sites, participant or evacuee information, etc., and a transmission unit 12 that transmits the electronic data, etc. to an information terminal 20 and a management terminal 30, etc., and displays the evacuee information, etc. on the information terminal 20 and the management terminal 30.

[0050] These functions are realized by a CPU that processes programs, a ROM that stores programs and data in advance, a RAM that temporarily stores the programs and data when the programs are executed, a HDD that stores programs and a large amount of data, etc. Cloud server 10 may further include an interface that connects the CPU and the HDD, and a display, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. may be connected via the interface.

[0051] The HDD may be any type capable of storing data, and may be a non-volatile SSD or the like. The interface includes those for connecting the above-mentioned display and keyboard, as well as those for connecting devices capable of communication. Specifically, it includes those for HDMI (registered trademark) connection, USB connection, LAN connection, SCSI connection, IEEE connection, etc. The CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD, interface, etc. may be connected to each other via a motherboard, etc.

[0052] Furthermore, the storage unit 11 stores data on evacuation sites operated by the cloud server 10, participants, evacuees, and the like.

[0053] The data on evacuation sites includes data on multiple designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government, and includes information related to the evacuation site, such as the address, name, latitude, and longitude of the evacuation site. In addition, data on evacuation sites during training or when a disaster occurs, determined by the business operator or an expert designated by the business operator, other than the multiple designated evacuation sites designated by the national or local government, can be stored.

[0054] The data of participants or evacuees may include the participant's or evacuees' unique ID, age, sex, physical condition, entry and exit, etc.

[0055] The information terminal 20 is used to input location information of the construction site or evacuation shelter at or before the start of construction, and is used to record information on participants or evacuees and entry / exit records during training or when a disaster occurs. The information terminal 20 of this embodiment is a portable terminal with a display and an operation unit integrated into one unit and a network communication function, such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, but may also be a personal computer.

[0056] The management terminal 30 receives and displays the evacuee information transmitted from the cloud server 10. Further, the administrator terminal may be a portable terminal such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc., in which a display and an operation unit are integrally configured and which has a network communication function.

[0057] The terminals 40 of the country and local governments receive and display the evacuee information transmitted from the cloud server 10. Further, the administrator terminal may be a portable terminal such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc., in which a display and an operation unit are integrally configured and which has a network communication function.

[0058] As an example of an evacuation package provided to the administrator, this evacuation system is configured by storing the IC card 50 and the information terminal 20 in a storage bag. The storage bag preferably has waterproof, cold-proof, and shock-absorbing properties assuming a disaster.

[0059] The IC card 50 is used to identify evacuees. It is distributed to participants who receive evacuation training at the evacuation site or evacuees during evacuation. It is desirable to stockpile more cards than the capacity of each evacuation site.

[0060] Each IC card 50 has a unique 16-digit ID number embedded in the IC chip. As shown in Figure 2, the IC card 50 has a simple number 51 printed thereon, which is composed of a small number of digits or alphabets different from each ID number. This simple number 51 is preferably a consecutive number for convenience of management. Also, when using multiple information terminals, etc., the simple number 51 may be a combination of alphabets and numbers such as A1, A2, A3···, B1, B2, B3,···, C1, C2, C3···.

[0061] When IC card 50 is brought close to information terminal 20 and read, simple number 51 is linked to the ID number and stored in information terminal 20, but it is preferable that simple number 51 is registered in information terminal 20 by linking it to the ID number when simple number 51 is entered. This is because, while an ID number with a large number of digits is necessary to assign individual numbers to many people, simple numbers are easy for evacuees who use IC cards to remember.

[0062] The information terminal 20 has specific software installed and has the following functions to operate the evacuation system. Examples of the information terminal 20 include smartphones and tablets equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication), and smartphones and mobile phones equipped with "Osaifu-Keitai (registered trademark)."

[0063] CPU: System processing Data storage: stores the system database Memory: Temporarily stores system data Monitor (touch panel): display unit and input means Data communication: sending and receiving data, communication to the Internet Reading means: Reading data from IC card 50 Imaging method Input means: Keyboard, mouse, etc. (optional)

[0064] The evacuation system of the present invention is intended to be used not only in designated evacuation shelters or designated emergency evacuation shelters designated by the national or local government, but also in evacuation shelters designated by businesses or experts designated by businesses. In other words, by using small devices such as mobile terminals, it is possible to store multiple evacuation packages in disaster prevention warehouses without taking up space, and it is also possible to store multiple evacuation packages in anticipation of the opening of various evacuation shelters in the vicinity.

[0065] The evacuation system is operated as follows: Start the app, which is software installed in the terminal, and operate it on the system menu screen.

[0066] The evacuation system shown as an embodiment performs the following functions in each mode of the system menu screen shown in FIG.

[0067] 1) "Record entry" mode: Used when evacuees enter an evacuation site. Hold the IC card 50 over the terminal to record entry. 2) "Record exit" mode: Used when evacuees leave the evacuation area. Hold IC card 50 over the terminal to record their exit. 3) "Record information of evacuees" mode: Used to record information on evacuees other than entrance and exit information. Records gender, age, physical condition, distribution of equipment, etc. Hold IC card 50 over the terminal to record evacuee information. 4) "Search for evacuees" mode: Search for and check the information of evacuees registered at evacuation sites. 5) "Check evacuation shelter statistics" mode: Check the statistical information of evacuees registered at the evacuation shelter. 6) "Check registration history" mode: Displays the registration history of evacuees who have been registered at evacuation shelters. 7) "Data linkage" mode: Links evacuee information data with the cloud server. 8) "Settings" mode: Set GPS coordinates and cloud server authentication settings.

[0068] This evacuation system is managed using, for example, the following databases: Evacuation site database: Stores data on evacuation sites where evacuation systems are installed. This data includes information related to the evacuation sites, such as their location and names. Evacuee database: By utilizing the fact that each unique ID number is embedded in the IC chip of the IC card 50, the evacuation system identifies the evacuees by linking the ID number of the IC card 50 to the evacuees. Information on the evacuees, such as gender, age, physical condition, and chronic illnesses, is acquired and managed as necessary information for the operation of the evacuation shelter, without identifying the personal information. If permission is obtained from the evacuees, personal information such as name, address, and date of birth is acquired and managed as information on the evacuees. Relief supplies database: Stores information on relief supplies stored at evacuation sites. Data includes the name, category, and quantity of relief supplies. Activity log: Stores the operation history of the evacuation shelter management system, such as the update history of evacuee information, the date and time when the IC card 50 was swiped, and the consumption of stockpiles.

[0069] Regarding the handling of personal information, for example, the following will be implemented: When building a database of evacuees in the operation of evacuation shelters, the handling of personal information is one of the issues. There are various factors, such as whether or not personal information can be acquired depending on the evacuation shelter and management organization, and refusal by the evacuees themselves. In addition, if information that identifies personal information is acquired, strict management within the evacuation shelter is required, which can hinder information sharing with third parties such as government and support organizations, and this remains an issue in places where the operation of evacuation shelters and information transmission are important. Therefore, to avoid complicating operations, the evacuation system basically limits personal information to the extent necessary for the operation of evacuation shelters, without identifying personal information. However, when the individual's consent can be obtained, personal information is appropriately acquired.

[0070] <2. Evacuation system flow> Next, the flow of the evacuation system according to this embodiment will be described.

[0071] (At or before construction begins) First, at or before the start of work at a construction site, the business operator or an expert designated by the business operator sets up evacuation sites near the construction site in advance for training or disaster occurrence. Since the business operator who manages the construction site, who is an expert in the civil engineering field, or an expert designated by the business operator, sets up evacuation sites in advance for training or disaster occurrence, it is possible to determine safe evacuation sites and evacuation routes and set up highly safe evacuation sites.

[0072] If the designated evacuation site is a designated evacuation shelter or designated emergency evacuation site managed by a local government, etc., notify and apply to the local government in advance and provide evacuation drill materials, etc. If possible, request cooperation in publicizing the site by utilizing the local government's network.

[0073] Additionally, accounts that allow the local governments to view the evacuee information stored in the cloud server 10 are provided. This is because it is expected that local governments will be able to comprehensively manage evacuation information from multiple construction sites, which will be useful in the event of a large-scale disaster. Accounts that allow the government to manage the information of all local governments may be provided to the national government, which will enable the national government to manage the information of multiple local governments and thus be able to manage the entire situation in the event of a large-scale disaster.

[0074] In this embodiment, two evacuation sites, evacuation site A and evacuation site B, are set, but the number of evacuation sites is not limited to this. In addition, when there are two evacuation sites and two information terminals 20 are used as in this embodiment, the information terminal 20 for evacuation site A and the information terminal 20 for evacuation site B can be synchronized using Bluetooth (registered trademark), so that the evacuation status at each of the evacuation sites A and B can be confirmed on either information terminal 20. Note that when the Internet environment is restored, the information terminals 20 for evacuation sites A and B can also be synchronized via an Internet line.

[0075] Then, the evacuation sites and evacuation drills are made known to local residents, local governments, and local businesses within a specified area who may become participants or evacuees. This ensures that evacuation sites are made known to a larger number of local residents within a specified area who may become participants or evacuees. It also raises the awareness of local residents about natural disasters, contributing to the creation of a safe and secure town.

[0076] Specifically, information about evacuation sites and evacuation drills will be made known through various means, including by construction workers posting notices near evacuation sites, posting in local government newsletters and on local government bulletin boards, holding explanatory meetings at local government meetings, distributing newspaper inserts and flyers in surrounding areas, and requesting cooperation from businesses.

[0077] In addition, equipment will be secured as evacuation packages and transported to evacuation sites A and B. The information terminal 20 and the multiple IC cards 50 are stored in a storage bag and are carried as an evacuation package to each evacuation site. In addition to the above, evacuation food such as porridge, hygiene products such as masks, and drinking water may also be carried.

[0078] (During training or when a disaster occurs) Next, admission to evacuation site A is carried out for participants or evacuees who have moved from the construction site, which is the assembly place, to evacuation site A. It is also possible to carry out admission to evacuation site A for participants or evacuees who have moved directly to evacuation site A.

[0079] After the IC card 50 is read by the information terminal 20, the IC card 50 is distributed to the participant or evacuee. By starting the application in the information terminal 20, selecting the "record entry" mode, and holding the IC card 50 over the information terminal 20 to read it, the entry record is linked to the ID number and saved in the information terminal 20. At that time, relief supplies such as masks, drinking water, and food such as porridge may be distributed at the same time.

[0080] If any participants or evacuees need to be isolated here due to illness or infectious disease, they will be moved to another evacuation site, Site B. These participants or evacuees will first check in at evacuation site A, and then check out at evacuation site A to move to evacuation site B. After moving to evacuation site B, admission will be handled at evacuation site B in the same way as admission at evacuation site A.

[0081] Next, the IC card 50 is used to collect and register information on the participants or evacuees accommodated in the evacuation site A and the evacuation site B.

[0082] Here, information such as gender, age, and physical condition is collected and registered in the information terminal 20. Furthermore, a text collected from the participants or evacuees may be entered and registered in the information terminal 20.

[0083] The app in the information terminal 20 is started, the "Record evacuee information" mode is selected, and questions such as gender, age, and physical condition are selected, and the answers of the participants or evacuees are selected. The IC card 50 is held up to the information terminal 20 for recording. Also, the information terminal 20 may capture an image of the participants or evacuees, and the image information such as the faces of the participants or evacuees may be linked to an ID number, stored in the information terminal 20, and registered.

[0084] In addition, when a participant or evacuee temporarily leaves the evacuation site, the app in the information terminal 20 is launched, the “record leaving” mode is selected, and the IC card 50 is held up to the information terminal 20 and read, which is then linked to the ID number and saved in the information terminal 20 as a record of leaving the site.

[0085] In addition, when a participant or evacuee receives relief supplies, stockpiles, etc. after entering the facility, the participant or evacuee can start an app in the information terminal 20 and hold the IC card 50 over the information terminal 20 to read it, which will enable the information terminal 20 to store information indicating that the relief supplies, stockpiles, etc. have been received, which will be linked to the ID number.

[0086] Next, the participants or evacuees leave the facility. The application in the information terminal 20 is started, the "record leaving the facility" mode is selected, and the IC card 50 is held up to the information terminal 20 and read, which is linked to the ID number as a record of leaving the facility and saved in the information terminal 20. The IC cards 50 are collected from the participants or evacuees and they are asked to leave the facility.

[0087] (During training or when evacuation is completed in the event of a disaster) Check the statistics of evacuees registered at evacuation centers. Start the application in the information terminal 20, select the "Check evacuation shelter statistics" mode, and check the statistical data for each item, for example to see if there are any problems with the total number of people.

[0088] Then, when the communication environment such as the Internet is restored, the evacuee information data is linked to the cloud server 10. The application in the information terminal 20 is started, the "data link" mode is selected, and "upload historical data to server" is selected to upload the data.

[0089] You can also check evacuee information from the web management screen. Access the web page, enter your ID and password, and log in. Select "Evacuee List" from the menu and check the registration status of evacuees.

[0090] In addition, in the cloud server 10, when all participants or evacuees have left the premises and the evacuation is completed, data other than the location information of the evacuation site is deleted after being stored for a certain period of time. For example, the data is stored for one year after the completion of the construction and then deleted. On the other hand, the location information of the evacuation site is stored without being deleted even after the certain period of time has passed. Since data other than the location information of the evacuation site is stored for a certain period of time and then deleted, participants or evacuees can use the system with peace of mind. On the other hand, since the location information of the evacuation site is stored without being deleted, the location information of the evacuation site can be effectively used during subsequent training or when a disaster occurs.

[0091] Furthermore, the national or local government can access the web page and input the provided ID and password to view the data stored in the multiple information terminals 20. The national or local government can view the data stored in the multiple information terminals 20 and quickly grasp the general situation of evacuation sites. Furthermore, this data can be reflected in the formulation of future national or local government disaster countermeasure materials, evacuation drill plans, and the like.

[0092] A method for using the evacuation shelter information collected in the above embodiment will now be described. Each evacuation shelter, business operator managing a construction site, or local government that holds an ID and password can enter their ID and password to log in and access the cloud server 10, which displays a web page that can be viewed remotely to grasp the situation at each evacuation shelter in real time, provide evacuation information, receive relief supplies, and confirm the safety of people.

[0093] <3. Evacuation system effectiveness test> (Conducting evacuation drills) Using the above-mentioned evacuation system and evacuation method, the applicant and Yabe Doken Co., Ltd., which has a confidentiality agreement with the applicant, acted as the implementing companies and conducted an evacuation drill with the cooperation of the applicant and Yabe Doken Co., Ltd.

[0094] First, Yabe Construction Co., Ltd., the company carrying out construction and managing the Tonaki Fishing Port No. 3 Offshore Breakwater at Tonaki Fishing Port in Tonaki Village, designated the "Evacuation Tower (2270-3 Wakihara, Tonaki Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture)" as evacuation site A, and the "Site Office (1900-1, Tonaki Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture)" as evacuation site B, in consideration of safety.

[0095] Next, a disaster prevention bag containing an IC card 50, a smartphone 20, a medical mask, drinking water, rice porridge, etc., was placed at evacuation sites A and B.

[0096] An evacuation drill was conducted in Tonaki Village, Shimajiri District, Okinawa Prefecture on November 22, 2023. First, the 34 participants of the evacuation drill gathered in front of the Tonaki Village Fishing Port, the assembly point, and received an explanation of the evacuation drill from 12:54 to 13:00. Then, assuming that a disaster had occurred, they began moving to the evacuation tower, which was evacuation site A, from 13:00.

[0097] (Evacuation site A) At 13:00, they began moving to evacuation site A, arriving at evacuation site A at 13:08. At 1:08 p.m., admission began at evacuation site A. After participants held their IC cards 50 up to their smartphones 20 to register for entry, the IC cards 50 were distributed to them, after which masks, drinking water, and porridge were distributed as relief supplies.

[0098] After all 34 participants had been checked in at evacuation site A, it was assumed that four participants had become ill and required treatment, so these four participants were moved to evacuation site B.

[0099] At 13:18, the four people registered their departure from evacuation site A by holding their IC cards 50 over their smartphones 20, and then began to move to evacuation site B, arriving at evacuation site B at 13:23.

[0100] Between 1:20 and 1:35 p.m., at evacuation site A, the manager interviewed 30 people, excluding the four people who had moved to evacuation site B, about their gender, age group, and health condition, and then held IC card 50 up to smartphone 20 to register this information in the app on smartphone 20.

[0101] (Evacuation site B) Meanwhile, at 1:24 p.m., at evacuation site B, the four participants who had moved from evacuation site A were registered for entry by holding their IC cards 50 over the smartphone 20 at evacuation site B, and the IC cards 50 were then returned to the four participants. After that, masks, drinking water, and porridge were distributed as relief supplies, and the participants were checked in to enter the site.

[0102] From 13:25 to 13:27, at evacuation site B, the four participants who had moved to evacuation site B were interviewed about their gender, age group, and physical condition, and the evacuees held their IC cards 50 over the smartphones 20 to register the information in the smartphone 20's app. Also, at evacuation site B, the evacuees themselves were photographed with the smartphones 20, and the images obtained by the photographing were registered in the smartphone 20's app by holding the IC cards 50 over the smartphones 20.

[0103] Here, we assumed that there would be two participants who temporarily left evacuation site B. Between 13:30 and 13:31, at evacuation site B, the two participants held their IC cards 50 over the smartphone 20 to register their departure. At this time, the “Check evacuation site statistics” item on the smartphone 20 app confirmed that two participants had temporarily left the evacuation site.

[0104] In addition, if a participant leaves the facility temporarily, the participant can keep the IC card 50, or if it is unclear whether the participant will return, the IC card 50 can be collected and returned when the participant returns.

[0105] Then, when the two participants who had temporarily left the shelter returned to evacuation site B, they held up their IC card 50 to the smartphone 20 to receive a ticket for re-entry to evacuation site B. At this time, the user was able to confirm in the “Check evacuation shelter statistics” item on the smartphone 20 app that the two participants who had temporarily left the shelter had re-entered the shelter.

[0106] (Evacuation site A) On the other hand, we also assumed a case in which 10 participants would temporarily leave evacuation site A. Between 13:36 and 13:39, at evacuation site A, the 10 participants held their IC cards 50 over the smartphone 20 to register their departure. At this time, the “Check evacuation site statistics” item on the smartphone 20 app confirmed that 10 participants had temporarily left the evacuation site.

[0107] Then, when the 10 participants who had temporarily left the shelter returned to evacuation site A, they held up their IC cards 50 to the smartphone 20 to receive a ticket for re-entry to evacuation site A. At this time, the smartphone 20 app confirmed in the "Check evacuation site statistics" section that the 10 participants who had temporarily left the shelter had re-entered the shelter.

[0108] (Evacuation site A, B) From 13:40 to 14:00, it was assumed that the communication environment was restored in evacuation site A and evacuation site B, and the evacuee information in the app of each smartphone 20 was uploaded to the cloud server 10.

[0109] After all the participants had left the building, the data was uploaded from each smartphone 20 to the cloud server 10, and the data on the results of the evacuation situation was then checked on a PC at evacuation site B.

[0110] ·Check the location of evacuation shelters A and B - Check the total number of people and information for the evacuation drill, as well as the statistical information for evacuation sites A and B from the statistical information data, and confirm that the status of each evacuation site is registered as expected. - Check the evacuees' information and confirm that the registered information is registered as expected. - For participants who moved from evacuation site A to evacuation site B, confirm that the evacuation site was moved and recorded in the log as expected.

[0111] This allows an administrator with administrative privileges to access the system to grasp the current evacuation situation at evacuation sites A and B (such as the number and gender of evacuees) and information such as temporary evacuation up to that point.

[0112] As described above, this test training demonstrated that the evacuation status can be checked at a glance at any time. In addition, in the event of an actual disaster, after the disaster has subsided and evacuation is no longer necessary, when all evacuees leave the evacuation site, they will hold their IC cards 50 over their smartphones 20 to register their departure, and then collect the IC cards 50 from the evacuees.

[0113] In the case of this test training, 30 participants at evacuation site A and 4 participants at evacuation site B will have their IC cards 50 held up to smartphone 20 to register their exit, and then the IC cards 50 will be collected from the participants.

[0114] After all evacuees have registered their departure from all evacuation locations, the information is uploaded from each smartphone 20 to the cloud server 10, and the evacuation situation and progress are stored in the cloud server 10 and can be checked as a record.

[0115] This allows an administrator with administrative privileges to access the system to grasp the current evacuation situation at evacuation sites A and B (such as the number and gender of evacuees) and information such as temporary evacuation up to that point.

[0116] In addition, in this test, the business operator is able to check the evacuation status and progress at evacuation sites A and B, but by setting access rights to the cloud server 10, it is also possible for local governments to check the evacuation status and progress of areas managed by the local governments in addition to evacuation sites A and B. Furthermore, by setting access rights to the cloud server 10 at a higher level, it is also possible for the national government to check the evacuation status and progress of each area in local governments across the country.

[0117] Finally, assuming that the disaster had subsided, the 30 participants at evacuation site A and the four participants at evacuation site B were registered as having left the premises by holding their IC cards 50 over smartphone 20, and then the IC cards 50 were collected from the participants.

[0118] After all participants had left the building, the data was uploaded from each smartphone 20 to the cloud server 10, and the data on the results of the evacuation drill was then checked on a PC at evacuation site B.

[0119] In addition, in this test, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the 34 participants who participated in the above evacuation drill. The results of the questionnaire survey are shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, the results were as intended, showing that there are benefits to using it in evacuation guidance, that the impression of public works is likely to change in a positive direction, and that it is likely to be useful for disaster evacuation.

[0120] <Confirmation details> -Check the locations of evacuation shelters A and B - Check the total number of people and information for the evacuation drill, as well as the statistical information for evacuation sites A and B from the statistical information data, and confirm that the status of each evacuation site is registered as expected. - Check the evacuees' information and confirm that the registered information is registered as expected. - For participants who moved from evacuation site A to evacuation site B, confirm that the evacuation site was moved and recorded in the log as expected.

[0121] A questionnaire survey was conducted on the 34 participants who took part in the above evacuation drill. The results of the questionnaire survey are shown in Figure 4. As shown in Figure 4, the results were as expected, indicating that there are benefits to using it in evacuation guidance, that it is likely to change people's impressions of public works projects in a positive direction, and that it is likely to be useful in disaster evacuation.

[0122] Furthermore, by using this embodiment, whereas previously, registration at evacuation sites required each person to fill out a form, which took several minutes per person, with this embodiment, the IC card 50 only needs to be touched to the information terminal 20 and handed over, which takes only a few seconds. Therefore, registration of evacuees can be completed very quickly and smoothly, especially when there are a large number of evacuees.

[0123] In addition, information on evacuees' entry, temporary exit, and exit is stored in the cloud server via the information terminal 20, so the evacuation status at multiple evacuation sites can be checked at any time, and can also be checked later unless the data is deleted. In addition, by setting access rights to the cloud server, the national government and local governments can grasp the evacuation status at evacuation sites on a national or regional scale.

[0124] As described above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings, but various additions, modifications, and deletions are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the evacuation system provides evacuation by a company that manages a construction site, but the system is not limited to construction sites and can be applied to other facilities and locations, such as hospitals, supermarkets, department stores, and public facilities.

[0125] In addition, in the above embodiment, the evacuation system is operated by the information terminal 20 reading the IC card 50 on which each unique ID number is stored, but the face of the participant or evacuee may also be captured by the information terminal 20 and the evacuation system may be operated by facial recognition.

[0126] In addition, in the above embodiment, IC cards 50 are distributed to participants or evacuees at the evacuation site and the IC cards 50 are read by the information terminal 20, but it is also possible to read a smartphone equipped with the function of a contactless IC card 50, such as Mobile Suica (registered trademark) and Mobile PASMO (registered trademark), or a transportation IC card (Suica, PASMO, ICOCA, etc.) carried by a participant or evacuee with the information terminal 20.

[0127] In the above embodiment, a smartphone or a tablet is used as the information terminal 20, but a personal computer may also be used. [Explanation of symbols]
