Kyushu University developed a method combining satellite data and AI to estimate the death risk for elderly people losing air conditioning during disasters like the Kumamoto earthquake, aiding targeted support.
Key points
- •An estimation method was developed to analyze diverse data, including satellite data and census information, using AI.
- •The method can identify regions and quantities where electricity and air conditioning equipment should be prioritized during disasters.
- •Estimation results indicate that the death risk for elderly people who lose air conditioning rises by 5% over 30 days.
