Abstract

We introduce a novel two-dimensional simulator for disaster response on maps of real cities dealing with logistics and coordination problems. Our simulator allows to plug-in almost any approach developed for simulated environments and offers functionalities for further developing and benchmarking. It provides metrics that help the analysis of the performance of a team of agents during the disaster. Our experiments were conducted for a mud disaster episode and show how to evaluate different techniques.
