SIGES-PERE: A Collaborative GIS for Radiological Disaster Management

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3591))

Abstract

We present a collaborative-application to the National Center of Disaster Prevention in Mexico (CENAPRED), which is focused on helping in the decision making process during the radiological disasters, related to “Laguna Verde” nuclear plant. This application coordinates the activities of External Plan of Radiological Emergency (PERE) that has been generated for this purpose. In addition, the application is based on a Geographical Information System (GIS) into a collaborative architecture to support the interaction from several entities, which work with special training groups in a virtual reality environment. The architecture consists of a collaboration model and it generates a schema of components to find out the independence and standardization of the system so that it can be implemented in any GIS-platform.
