  • Uredas, URGENT EARTHQUAKE DETECTION and ALARM SYSTEM, NOW and FUTURE
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 908 UrEDAS, URGENT EARTHQUAKE DETECTION AND ALARM SYSTEM, NOW AND FUTURE Yutaka NAKAMURA 1 SUMMARY UrEDAS, Urgent Earthquake Detection and Alarm System, can realize the real-time early earthquake detection and alarm system in the world. There is a local government that has realized a tsunami warning system using real-time estimated earthquake parameters as magnitude and location, distributed by UrEDAS. On 26th May 2003, the Miyagiken-Oki Earthquake was occurred. It was so large that the maximum acceleration of about 600 Gal was observed along the Shinkansen line and 23 columns of the rigid frame viaducts (RC) were severely cracked. This earthquake occurred on the business hours of the Shinkansen. As expected, coastline “Compact UrEDAS” along the Shinkansen took out the early P-wave alarm before the destructive earthquake motion and the validity of this system was proved for the first time. INTRODUCTION UrEDAS is the only real time P-wave alarm system over the world on practical use. It is characterized to be able to process digitized waveform step by step without saving. Amount of procedure does not differs either earthquake occurs or not, so failure because of over load will not occur. The 2003 Miyagiken-Oki earthquake (Mj 7.1) occurred on 26th May, Compact UrEDAS worked as expected. It was for the first time that the validity of the early warning system was verified under circumstances of big earthquake such as rigid frame viaducts of Shinkansen were damaged. In this paper, the present condition of P-wave early detection system UrEDAS will be viewed referring to cases at work, also result of test observation where faults exists will be reported.
