Abstract:

As part of the research project "OPERA - Future Operations," an interdisciplinary consortium develops a trend-setting interactive visualization tool to support decision makers, to adapt and to explore different strategies. This talk gives an overview on that project. Furthermore it presents the special sector-based approach IDEA-4C:

• I- Identification of critical regions, sectors, and coupling principles (Cost-Benefit Analysis for Critical Sectors).

• D- Digital Twins and AI-driven constraint optimization (Coupled Sector-based Models).

• E- Exploratory Strategies / Recognition of critical pathways and sectors (Characterization of Pathways).

• A- Adaptation and Quantifying Analysis (Coordination of Strategies).

This 4C-approach describes a new integrated modelling suite for developing and assessing complex strategies. This hybrid optimization framework has been conceptualized and is currently being developed with and for experts in the field of disaster and emergency management, combining CRISYS and DAISY. Such an innovative approach will provide new insights into the general use of digital twins.
