Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today
that the company has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that
uses data on a tsunami’s velocity detected by radar to forecast water
inundation depths 1 in surrounding inland areas, working in collaboration with
the Society for the Promotion of Construction Engineering of the General
Incorporated Foundation. The AI incorporates Mitsubishi Electric’s Maisart ®2
AI technology to generate highly accurate predictions just seconds after a
tsunami is detected, thereby supporting the rapid formulation of evacuation
plans to prevent or mitigate disasters in local inland areas.1 Height of water level measured from the ground
2 Mitsubishi Electric's AI creates the State-of-the-ART in technology.
Key Features
- Maisart predicts inundation depth with high accuracy
immediately after tsunami is detected
- AI learns the relationship between tsunami speed and
inundation depths using simulations of various earthquake epicenters, degree
and direction of fault displacements, and so on.
- The AI accurately predicts inundation depths with a margin
of error of about 1 meter. 3 The prediction is performed as soon as the
tsunami’s speed and direction are detected with radar.
- Rapid prediction supports fast evacuation planning, helping
to prevent or mitigate disasters.
