Abstract

Computer simulation makes it possible to reproduce real systems and processes in a synthetic environment. In this way virtual analysis turn to be possible and it complex scenarios are suitable to be simulated. In the proposed paper is presented a port system where to study the behavior respect operations and accidents and to consider interaction among multiple players. The simulation is applied to create a Virtual Lab able to evaluate and investigate the development of new procedures, contingency plans during crises. The development of models to be used in simulations is clearly a critical aspect, since the consistency of the simulation depend on the quality of the models and their interaction; in this case the authors used their experience in the field to guarantee a successful Verification and Validation. In this case study, models are used for simulations of phenomena related to port accidents and crises with particular attention to dispersion system of liquid contaminant on sea surface and dispersion of toxic gases into atmosphere. These models have been tested in the Alacres2 simulator in order to create as an effective tool to observe and study the evolution and impact of dangerous situations, as well as a decision-making support to define response plans crises.
