Strategic Engineering for Decision Making during Urban Crises
Description
Analyzing the dispersion of hazardous agents is a critical component in crisis management. The complexity of this task amplifies when considering the intricate geometry of the environment in question, ever-evolving boundary conditions, and the presence of individuals. Notably, many of the prevailing models for agent diffusion primarily concentrate on the physical aspects, often sidelining the challenge of assessing the impact on people present in the scenario. To bridge this gap, the authors introduce a comprehensive simulation model designed not only to forecast the movement of substances in multifaceted urban settings but also to factor in the attributes and activities of individuals within these spaces. This paper concludes with a detailed case study, shedding light on the practical implications and results of the proposed model.
