SGER: Computational Modeling of Disaster Response

一个由人类学家、工程师、计算机科学家、公共卫生学者和组织理论家组成的跨学科团队将进行一项探索性研究，目的是创建一个多主体模拟模型，用于规划和评估复杂城市环境中的灾难应对。研究小组将利用在灾难情景和演习中收集的数据，开发底特律大都市区多个机构和司法管辖区协调的小规模模型。这些模型将为一种创新的概念提供概念验证--使用文化算法的多代理建模--用于培训和评估急救人员的协调。在成功完成可行性研究并在资金允许的情况下，研究小组将扩大和扩展这些模型，以建立重大(多机构和司法管辖区有组织的应对)灾害模型。这一模式将与市警察、消防员和紧急医疗服务人员密切合作开发。

An interdisciplinary team of anthropologists, engineers, computer scientists, public health scholars, and organizational theorists, will conduct an exploratory study of creating a multi-agent simulation model for planning and evaluating disaster response in complex urban settings. The research team will use data collected at disaster scenarios and exercises to develop small-scale models of the coordination of multiple agencies and jurisdictions in the Detroit Metropolitan Area. These models will provide a proof-of-concept for an innovative concept - multi-agent modeling with cultural algorithms - to be used in both training and evaluation of coordination of first responders. Upon successful completion of the feasibility study and funds permitting, the research team will scale up and extend these models to build the MAJOR (Multiple Agency and Jurisdiction Organized Response) Disaster Model. This model will be developed in close cooperation with municipal police, firefighter, and emergency medical service personnel.
