What is “ANZEN” Project ??
“Development of a Comprehensive Disaster
Resilience and Collaboration Platform in Myanmar”

ANZEN SATREPS : MYANMAR NIPPON ZERO-CASUALTY ENGINEERING NETWORK 2014-2020

3Myanmar’s challenges
Highly disaster-prone country:
Frequent occurrences of Earthquake,Cyclone, Flood, Landslide, and Fire.

India
China
Bangladesh

Pressing challenge: Response to uncertainties• Growing disaster risk due to large-scale land
and urban development• Occurrence of extreme storms and floods
caused by global climate change

Mandalay

Lao PDR
Naypyidaw

 Low capability of existing civil infrastructures fordisaster mitigation
 Insufficiency of current techs, information
system, and human resources; incapable ofresponding to the future of great uncertainty
 Strong institutional system sectioned vertically:→ Major obstacle to built of comprehensivesystems for disaster risk reduction
 Poor environment of research implementationand graduate education program in YTU, Thehighest educational institution

GOAL
Contribute to Myanmar’s steady economic growth by safe cities formation
・Develop integrated disaster resilience systems from the aspect of hardware,
software, and human resources, for strengthening Myanmar’s disaster
response ability, to that end,
・Establish collaboration platform among government, academia and industry

 Conduct monitoring evaluation for urban development in responding todynamic change in the country. Based on that, build scenario analysis
system to predict changes in future disaster vulnerability continually Develop integrated disaster response system for strengthening disaster
response ability based on the scenario analysis system Develop technology to secure civil infrastructures’ disaster mitigation
functions for achievement of disaster-resilient urban infrastructures
 Manage the collaborative consortium, promoting cooperation among gov’t,academia and industry, to introduce and spread above technology andsystem into the Myanmar government and industrial sectors.
→ Contribute to create business opportunities for Japanese industry bypromoting international collaboration among gov’t, academia and industry

Aims and ScopesTo understand human mobility in Yangon City in order toimprove public transportation system
To estimate traffic volume in Yangon City using mobile CDR (CallDetail Record) DataTo know public bus traffic congestion status to manage traffic
flow in Yangon City

These information are essential for disaster management andemergency preparedness

1. Real-time people flow system• Got 1 week mobile phone CDR data from MPT this February.
• Can reconstruct trip and people movement data from CDR.

Comparison of PFLOW before/after flyover construction• Now try to compare PFLOW before/after flyover construction••••

Tamwe Flyover (Y- Shaped)
Construction Starting Date  Sept. 2015
Road Opening Date 16 July. 2016
Location At the five-leg junction of U Chit Maung Road, Banyar Dala Road,
East Horse Race Course Road, Thamainbayan Road andShwe Gone Daing Road .
• Target date plan of comparison for CDR data:
