An Intelligent Geographic Information System for Better Earthquake Risk Management

地震学的重大进展 工程已经完成，但 专业知识往往局限于 大学和政府 机构职能体系 知识体系 这将大大有助于 所有部门的决策者 社会（企业，发明家， 规划人员等）不容易 容易接近 技术不 有效转让 因为：知识是多元的， 纪律，其应用 需要专家集成 空间数据和高效的 没有转车。 该项目解决了 地震知识集成 从不同的领域，如地球 科学，地质学，地震学， 工程、金融和社会 科学和高效的转移 的综合产品。 的 整合/转移工具是一种 增强地理信息 系统或IGIS，并在 商用微型计算机 分布 空间数据 根据知识进行汇总和分析 推断地震危险性的过程 和结构脆弱性， 然后用于决策， 管理支持系统。 的 第一阶段计划旨在展示 整合的可行性 高级地理信息 系统和人工智能 地震风险技术 评估，以及协同作用， 是融合的结果。 结束- 这项活动的用户将包括 保险等商业团体 公司和银行。

Significant advances in earthquake engineering have been made but the expertise is too often confined to universities and government institutions. Bodies of knowledge which would significantly aid decision makers across all segments of society (business, inventors, planners, etc.) are not readily accessible. The technology is not being effectively transferred because: the knowledge is multi- disciplinary, its application requires expert integration of spatial data and an efficient transfer vehicle is not available. This project addresses the integration of earthquake knowledge from various domains such as earth science, geology, seismology, engineering, finance and social science, and the efficient transfer of the integrated product. The integration/transfer vehicle is an enhanced geographical information system, or IGIS, and implemented on microcomputers for wide commercial distribution. Spatial data are aggregated and analyzed by knowledge processes to infer earthquake hazard and structural vulnerability, which are then used in decision and management support systems. The Phase I program is designed to show the feasibility of integrating advanced geographic information systems and artificial intelligence technologies in earthquake risk assessment, and the synergism which results from the integration. End- users of this activity will include such commercial groups as insurance companies and banks.
