Schilda Disaster Management Planning Tool

Wintersemester 2024/2025
Prof. Dr. Barbara Sprick
Project Start Date: November 11, 2024

Project Overview

The Schilda Disaster Management Planning Tool is designed to assist the city of Schilda in effectively managing disaster situations. As Schilda transitions from a small town to a large city, disaster preparedness has become critical. This tool provides flexible, efficient solutions for handling disasters by enabling functionalities like city map management, route planning, communication infrastructure rebuilding, and emergency service deployment.

Functionalities

1. City Map Management

• B1: Load and Display City Map
  Reads and outputs a city map represented as an adjacency matrix.

• B2: Modify City Map
  Allows for marking road closures and damage locations. Users can add points of interest like supply points and deployment sites.

  • Optional: Support for distinguishing between land routes and waterways for hybrid routing.

2. Disaster Planning Functions

• F1: Rebuild Communication Infrastructure
  Calculates a basic network to ensure reliable communication between key nodes like rescue stations and hospitals, considering minimal repair costs.
  Input: Infrastructure nodes with repair costs for surrounding connections.

• F2: Evacuation Route Planning
  Determines if the current infrastructure is sufficient for evacuation or if additional resources are needed.
  Input: List of assembly points, emergency shelters, and updated city map capacities.

  • Optional: Consider routes accessible only by boat.

• F3: Emergency Services Route Planning
  Calculates the fastest routes to deployment sites, accounting for road conditions.

  • Optional: Hybrid routes involving both car and boat access.

• F4: Supply Points for Emergency Services
  Identifies optimal locations for additional supply points to minimize the average distance to relief forces.
  Input: City map with deployment locations and potential waterways.

• F5: Deployment Planning for Emergency Services
  Distributes emergency personnel and resources efficiently across various deployment sites, taking specific skills and equipment into account.

  • Optional: Different scenarios for supply prioritization based on equipment availability and urgency.
