After the East Japan Great Earthquake in 2011, a robust network communication has been one of significant subjects for the study of Disaster Information System. Then, DTN (Delay Tolerant Network) has been focused for the effective methods for such inoperable network circumstances. However, when DTN is applied for the local areas, there are some problems such as message delivery rate and latency because there are fewer roads, cars, and pedestrians than in urban areas. Therefore, we propose the Enhanced Media Coordinate System for DTN to the architecture in order to provide the Data Triage, Node Selection based on its Territory, and Dynamic FEC (Forward Error Correction). In this paper, the proposed Data Triage Methods that provide the data priority by the user policy and the application type is especially explained, and the results of the computational simulation by the GIS map of a Japanese coastal town is reported. Then, the results are discussed for the future studies of DTN for Disaster Information Network System in local areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
