High-performance computing and networking for technological and environmental risk management

Objective

Within the framework of HPCN Information Management and Decision Support, HITERM aims at expanding the application of HPCN to decision support in new domains: the central focus is the interface between technological risk management and the environment.

Using distributed parallel computing, the project aims at reaching better-than real time performance for the simulation of accidental release of hazardous substances into the atmosphere and ground and surface water. This information will be used, in the framework of interactive, on-line decision support and advisory systems for the adaptive routing of hazardous transports integrating environmental risk criteria with other road information and the support of emergency management tasks (and related staff training) for transportation accidents involving hazardous substances and for hazardous installations, as foreseen by the amended Post-Seveso Directive (82/501/EEC, 87/216/EEC, COM(94)4).

In addition to connecting the HPC simulations to various on-line monitoring data sources, the project will explore the on-line integration of uncertainty and error analysis based on Monte-Carlo methods and on-line interactive data interpretation and visualization for dynamic, spatially distributed, and probabilistic model results.
