| Expanding the use of simulation in open vascular surgical training | Summary
Are models and simulations useful for vascular surgery in general and for surprise and crisismanagement in particular. |
| A virtual reality based fire training simulator integrated with fire dynamics data | Summary
Propose a framework for interfacing reliable three-dimensional CFD simula tion results into real-time virtual reality systems so that they can be utilized in the development of similar, engineering-based simulators. |
| Prepositioning of supplies in preparation for a hurricane under potential destruction of prepositioned supplies | Summary
Goal In this paper we develop and test a model to preposition supplies in preparation for a hurricane that considers the possible destruction of relief goods. |
| Decision support system for emergency management: Road tunnels | Summary
Goal of paperThe paper describes three models integrated in the DSS. It also shows the application cases for different hypothetical emergencies in a tunnel. |
| A continuous approximation approach for assessment routing in disaster relief | Summary
In this study, we study the routing problem (ARP), which focuses on routing of teams in the area. The objective of the ARP is to minimize the sum of arrival times at communities, which reflects the time sensitive nature of relief efforts. We develop a continuous approximation model for the ARP. |

1. evaluate the performance of the trust system as well as effectiveness,efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach2. support a real rescue |
| Towards a Lightweight Approach for On-site Interaction Evaluation of Safety-critical Mobile Systems | Summary
How to evaluate the usability and interaction of a mobile application for situations in the site of a large-scale event? |
| Modeling and simulation method of the emergency response systems based on OODA | Summary
Not explicitly stated. Something like: How does our approach work in the simulation? |
| Developing shared situational awareness for emergency management | Summary
Goal:The purpose of our research was to identify the factors that affect the formation of shared situation awareness in search and rescue operations. Pg 1The hypothesis is that it is possible to find such SSA elements that help to split the development of SAR activities into more concrete and realizable phases. Pg 2Our first goal was to specify the critical information needs of the SAR operation on the operational level. In order to develop fluency in communication the different means of communication to be described. Our second goal was to describe how different actors communicate during an SAR operation. Our third goal was to study in more detail the role of trust in the SAR context. Trust has influence both on the quality and on the fluency of communication. The systematic development of trust is easier when we know the elements which trust comprises. The presumption in our research was that a certain amount of trust exists between actors. However, if trust could be increased the availability,reliability, and temporal accuracy of information could be improved. Pg 2 |
