Abstract

Several severe nuclear accidents have occurred in recent decades, necessitating immediate action to repair damage or prevent further harm. Since Taiwan has had four nuclear power plants, Taiwanese government agencies have devoted time to preparing emergency response for nuclear accidents. In light of these accidents, this study assists those Taiwanese government agencies to deal with spatial context-aware acquisition and representation. With Augmented-Reality (AR) and mobile Three-Dimensional (3D) graphics, this study proposes a mobile relief work system that helps relief workers to comprehend the relationship among their localities, the targeted structures, and the anticipated shelters. Based on the testing results regarding escaping victims in a simulated case study, relief workers quickly arrived at the targeted structures and successfully found the anticipated shelters. Over-all, this study is useful for those providing emergency response during nuclear accidents.
