| Description | Industry still has a negative impact on the environment both in particular locations and in the vicinity of roads where raw materials and ready products are transported. The crisis situations in the environment are the present reality. Their occurrence, course and impacts can be mitigated by a number of measures, and their benefits can be exploited in the phases of prophylaxis, rescue and remedy within the crisis situation. In all those phases, modern geoinformation technology, high-quality geographical information and formalized expert knowledge are applied. In Brno, at the Masaryk University and the University of Defence, the research project called The Dynamic Geovisualisation in Crisis Management(GEOKRIMA) is solved. Because of above mentioned reasons, the pilot scenario has been designed within this project which is called Transport of dangerous chemical substances (DCS) and which is focused on verification of the dynamic geovisualisation procedures in the selected crisis situation. |
