Abstract

Up to this time, demolished waste has been treated not strategically but "trial and error" in Japan. This study is aimed at developing an efficient supporting system for hauling and transportation of the demolished waste under the confusing conditions of post disaster. This system also supplies visual information which will enable rapid decisions by using a Geographic Information System. As a result of this study, a reasonable supporting system for demolished waste treatment could be concretely showed by using this developed model and simulation.

Key words: demolished waste, hauling/transportation, simulation, Geographic Information System (GIS), operational support
