Abstract

We describe a GIS-based real-time system for emergency response and management of air pollution accidents in an urban area. The system architecture emphasises the integration of meteorological, chemical and GIS data, dispersion modeling, decision-making and geo-spatial visualization. The threat zones, unsafe areas and safe traffic routes are obtained using an improved Gaussian plume model with a decision-making module and then exported to the Google Earth browser via “kml” file format. Several simulation scenarios were conducted and verified for notable industrial sites in Montenegro using recorded meteorological data. The results demonstrate that emergency response authorities can use the proposed methodology and system as a cost effective and accurate support tool in case of industrial or deliberate air pollution incidents.

Secondary abstract:	V članku je opisan sistem za odzivanje na tveganja, ki jih povzroči nenadzorovan izpust nevarnih plinov v ozračje v urbanem okolju. Sistem temelji na GIS tehnologiji in deluje v realnem času. Arhitektura sistema poudarja integracijo meteoroloških, kemijskih in GIS podatkov, modelov disperzije in odločanje ter geo-prostorsko vizualizacijo. Ogrožena področja, nevarna področja in varne prometne poti se določajo na osnovi izpopolnjenega Gausovega modela izpusta z modulom za odločanje. Podatki se nato izvozijo v Google Earth brkljalnik s pomočjo datotek formata »kml«. Izvedenih je bilo več simulacijskih scenarijev, verificirani so bili na pomembnih industrijskih lokacijah v Črni gori, pri čemer so bili uporabljeni registrirani meteorološki podatki. Rezultati kažejo, da bi državni organi, ki so zadolženi za odzivanje na nevarnosti, pri industrijskih ali namernih izpustih nevarnih snovi v ozračje lahko uporabili predlagano metodologijo in sistem, kot ustrezno, cenovno ugodno in natančno orodje.
