3D Simulation for Disaster Management: toward a new approach

Abstract

Recent progress in modern technology can enhance the definition of disaster recovery management strategy. Rescue teams can rely on Autonomous Systems (A.S.) during recovery operations, dispatching to them various tasks. A.S. can reach locations that may be unattainable or dangerous for humans. However, before sending the autonomous system to the catastrophe area, it is important to verify its adequation to the environment and to the mission objectives. The simulation provides an assessment of this adaptation between the autonomous system and its expectations.
