 New product and service introduction
Tsunami analysis
The system predicts inundation area and its water depth caused by possible Tsunami by using the difference method of Shallow-water theory. It also evaluates wave power, calculates drift carrying capacity, the wave height and the velocity at mesh points and generates distribution map of tsunami wave height.
Planned to link with UC-win/Road
Mechanism of tsunami generation

If an earthquake occurs, the uplift or subsidence is caused by ground movement under the sea bottom. With this movement, the overlying water vertically displaced, and the spread of water generates tsunami. When tsunami warning is announced, ships inside port go out of the port to avoid tsunami strike. That is because the energy of tsunami is smaller due to the deep water compared with shallow water area. The word tsunami derives from the larger damage on ships in the port (=tsu) compared with that of offshore. Currently, the word "tsunami", is also used in English. The velocity of tsunami is obtained by multiplying the gravity by water depth and rooting the value(v=√(root)gd). If the water depth is 4000m and the velocity of tsunami is approximately 720km/h (200m/S). It almost ties that of jet airplane.

Link with Tsunami analysis code of Imamura laboratory

FORUM8 will start analysis support service and make a link between the analysis code and UC-win/Road, by using the code developed by the laboratory. The analysis code can be adopted to the creation of hazard maps and the forecast of tsunami evacuation.FORUM8 is going to start a new service below.
Tsunami analysis code support service
The service reduces the load of data entry by transferring the basic data of topography, buildings, trees and etc from UC-win/Road.
After importing the calculation result of the analysis code, UC-win/Road visualizes the analysis.

UC-win/Road disaster and security solutions
 
 

UC-win/Road for xpswmm



UC-win/Road for xpswmm is a plug-in tool of UC-win/Road, which imports flood analysis results and displays the time series change of the rise and subside of flood waters, the water flow vector and level as well as displaying the drainage network.
UC-win/Road for xpswmm enables:
1. Time series change of rise and fall of flood water surface
2. Time series change of water flow vector
3. Expression of conduits and time series change of water level inside conduits.

 

UC-win/Road for EXODUS



EXODUS is an evacuation analysis simulation software developed by Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEG), University of Greenwich. FSEG has been studying human behavior in fire and fire dynamics for more than 20 years. EXODUS, evacuation simulation software was developed out of these researches.
UC-win/Road for EXODUS enables:
1.Seamless data import from EXODUS
2. High flexibility presentation with
a 3D real-time visualization
3. High quality 3D space
4. Showing outer space allow sending more real image.
