Tsunami Visualization Tool Using Numerical Simulation Utilizing 3D City Model

After the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1, 2024, the importance for residents on the Sea of Japan coast to have a correct understanding of the tsunami hazard is growing. One of the training tools for enhancing tsunami awareness is a tsunami visualization using Virtual Reality (VR). In this study, we create a VR space around Asahi-machi, Sakai-minato City using 3D City Model of PLATEAU, and develop a tsunami evacuation training tool by creating inundation scenarios in the VR space using the results of tsunami inundation simulations with the JAGURS tsunami model.
