Earthquake early warning for transport lines

open access: yesNatural Hazards, 2010
This paper analyzes the potential of earthquake early-warning systems for transport lines. The interdisciplinary work focuses on rapidly producing an alert map during an ongoing earthquake as well as providing a damage map immediately after the strong-motion phase that visualizes potential damages to the railway infrastructure.

Performance-based earthquake early warning

open access: yesSoil 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

Earthquake Early Warning System

open access: yes, 2020
Earthquake early warning is considered as one of the real-time earthquake damage mitigation measures which detects seismic waves, analyzes and transmits information of the impending ground shaking at the potential user site. Earthquake warning is issued in order to reduce the damage caused by earthquake such as trains speed can be reduced, and people ...

Earthquake Early Warning Systems

2007
During the past few decades, economic losses and human casualties due to natural disasters increased exponentially on our planet, mainly because of the increased density of population and industry in high hazard areas. Although the prediction of earthquakes is not practicable yet, the present technology allows a prompt identification of the onset of ...

Early Warning For Earthquakes

IEEE Spectrum, 2007
This paper presents NASA scientist Friedemann Freund's experiments on why radio frequency phenomena precede some earthquakes. He demonstrated in the laboratory how the earth's crust can act as a gigantic battery to drive a geological radio circuit that extends more than 30 kilometers below the ground.

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

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
