Interoperability of Solutions in a Crisis Management Environment Showcased in Trial-Austria

Crisis and disaster management - Semantic and syntactic interoperability

This document is based on the results of DRIVER+ and EPISECC and defines requirements on how to achieve organizational and cross border interoperability on semantic and syntactic level for crisis and disaster management.

Co-simulation of vehicles and crowds for rescue trials

In this paper, the focus is put on the integration of XVR, SE-Star and SUMO simulators via the Driver+ test-bed, where XVR provides different learning environments for all levels of incident command, SE-Star handles crowd simulation and SUMO focuses on vehicular simulation and routing. With the test-bed and the provided services these simulation...

An interoperability Framework for Trials and Exercises

In the Crisis Management (CM) domain, there is a need for quickly setting up a trial or exercise to test or train new or existing CM solutions and procedures. The EU-funded DRIVER+ project developed an open source cloudbased simulation framework, which provides a quick and easy way to connect simulators and (C2-like) solutions in such a way that...

DRIVER+ D923.23 Final release of the test-bed reference implementation SP 92 test-bed

The Test-bed reference implementation is an open source technical backbone to perform Trials or exercises in a methodical and structured way by offering Crisis Management practitioners a suite of free and open source software tools. This document discusses the Test-bed's usage and design from the perspective of a practitioner. The later chapters...

Serious Gaming: Training for Disaster Management

Development of a Distributed Simulation Environment for Crisis Management Training

Disasters happen; you simply cannot prevent them. So you need to be adequately trained for managing a crisis when it occurs. Most crisis management professionals, however, do not have sufficient time to train regularly, as they often have demanding regular jobs too. In addition, most current-day trainings are inflexible and only employ linear...

Overview of maritime situational awareness research at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research TNO

This paper gives an overview of research at TNO in the field of maritime situational awareness (MSA). Our expertise on radar, sonar, electro-optics, electronic support measures and tracking/fusion is typically employed for vessel detection and vessel anomaly detection. Illustrative examples of these applications are presented addressing the...
