  • Publication number: 20170316538
    Abstract: The main purpose is to provide an evacuation prediction system, etc. that can estimate the time required for the evacuation of disaster victims in accordance with situations in a road network, etc. serving as an evacuation route. An evacuation prediction system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes prediction means for predicting time required for an evacuee to evacuate based on evacuation information relating to an evacuation route for the evacuee and recovery information relating to recovery timing at a trouble occurrence site that is a site where a trouble occurred on the evacuation route.

  • Patent number: 9740575
    Abstract: Provided are a system design method, a system design system, and a system design reform assistance program. A system design apparatus includes a unit for receiving an analysis model which represents a system failure restoration sequence, a unit for identifying, from the received analysis model, a minimum combination of component failure which does not satisfy either a restoration time requisite or a necessary cost requisite and a unit for outputting the identified minimum combination of component failure. The unit for identifying the minimum combination of component failure further includes a unit for estimating the restoration time of a system, and a unit for estimating the cost required for restoration of the system.

  • Publication number: 20170060693
    Abstract: An acquisition unit that acquires, based on a combination of failures in components of an information system, a correction subprocedure for identifying a cause of failure and correcting trouble and a reconstruction subprocedure for reconstructing the component; a generator that generates at least one candidate for a service restart procedure of the information system by connecting the correction and the reconstruction subprocedures based on a dependency relationship between the acquired correction and reconstruction subprocedures; an estimator that estimates required time of at least one candidate for the service restart procedure; and a selector that identifies the service restart procedure, of which required time satisfies desired restoration time from among the candidates for the service restart procedure and selects, from among the identified candidates for the service restart procedure that has the risk of exceeding the desired restoration time, the service restart procedure based on a high/low degree of
