Performance-based earthquake early warning

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2011
Significant investments are undergoing internationally to develop earthquake early warning (EEW) systems. So far, reasonably, the most of the research in this field was lead by seismologists as the issues to determine essential feasibility of EEW were mainly related to the earthquake source. Many of them have been brilliantly solved, and the principles

An emergency Earthquake warning system for land mobile vehicles using the earthquake early warning

2008 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety, 2008
This paper describes a study of an emergency earthquake warning system for land mobile vehicles using the Earthquake early warning in Japan, First, estimation accuracy of seismic wave is evaluated at a local area, when using both the position information and the soil information database in addition to the Earthquake early warning, and it is shown that

The Potential for Earthquake Early Warning in Southern California

Science, 2003
Earthquake mitigation efforts in the United States currently use long-term probabilistic hazard assessments and rapid post-earthquake notification to reduce the potential damage of earthquakes. Here we present the seismological design for and demonstrate the feasibility of a short-term hazard warning system.

Residents’ Reactions to Earthquake Early Warnings in Japan

Risk Analysis, 2019
AbstractThis article empirically examines the effectiveness of earthquake early warning (EEW) in Japan based on experiences of residents who received warnings before earthquake shaking occurred. In Study 1, a survey (N = 299) was conducted to investigate residents’ experiences of, and reactions to, an EEW issued in Gunma and neighboring regions on June

Crowdsourcing earthquake early warnings

Science, 2016
Seismology The rapid distribution of earthquake warnings can reduce resulting loss of life and injury. Most earthquake early warning systems are based on data from specially designed seismic and geodetic networks. Kong et al. developed a system that gathers and distributes earthquake data from smartphone sensors, substantially improving our ability to ...

Automated decision procedure for earthquake early warning

Engineering Structures, 2007
Early warning systems represent an effective tool for disseminating timely information about potentially catastrophic hazards to the public, emergency managers, and operators and users of transportation systems, industrial facilities, public buildings including schools and government offices, and private residences.

A MacBook based earthquake early warning system

2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS), 2016
We demonstrate an early stage of our prototypical development of an earthquake early warning system based on Apple's MacBook computers. This system, called MacSeisApp, utilizes the Sudden Motion Sensors in MacBooks to detect seismic activities. It is inspired by an existing application called SeisMac, which turns a MacBook computer into a seismograph ...

An Open‐Source Earthquake Early Warning Display

Seismological Research Letters, 2016
We present the earthquake early warning display (EEWD), an effort to build a free and open‐source software to display earthquake early warning (EEW) information. The EEWD design and development builds on the experience of the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich in running the ShakeAlert UserDisplay developed by Caltech in California.

On the Potential Use of Smartglasses in Earthquake Early Warning

2024 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Engineering (MetroXRAINE)
Earthquakes can have a catastrophic impact on the built environment, resulting in serious consequences such as fatalities, injuries, infrastructure damage, and economic losses. In this context, the role of earthquake early warning systems (EEWSs) is becoming increasingly significant.

An Intelligent System for Earthquake Early Warning

2011 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Systems and Applications, 2011
In light of recent cases of significant social disruption caused by earthquake threats, advancing the state of knowledge about Earthquake Early Warning System has become an urgent need. In order to achieve this purpose, a new intelligent seismic precursors analyzing model is proposed in this paper.
