Geo-Spatial Modeling for Terrorism Threat Assessment

A system identifying assets in a region, evaluating their value and impact, and predicting consequences of terrorist attacks. Collaboration with security analysts to assess risks and interact with diverse assets. Developed by VISC at the University of Pittsburgh.

  1. 060704 Ken Sochats/ Threat Potential Modeling [Terrorism / Threat Modeling, Visual Information Systems Center, 412-624-9416, http://visc.sis.pitt.edu] Technical Approach • In this system, every important "asset" in a region would be identified and geo-located. Each of these assets would be evaluated as to "value" and impact area. • Evaluation algorithms “sum” the assessments into threat areas of varying potential. • Modeling software predicts consequences, evacuation, response, etc. Application Collaborations • This project aims to develop a geo-spatial system that assists security analysts and planners in assessing the risks to infrastructure elements as a result of terrorist attacks. • The modeling approach handles fixed assets as well as events. • Collocated, adjacent and dependent assets interact in security assessment • Handles human, infrastructure and ecological elements. • Visual Information Systems Center (VISC) • University of Pittsburgh • American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
