Measured Response
This project was supported by the National Science Foundation.
Measured Response (MR) is an annual simulation event from the Purdue Homeland Security Institute (PHSI), Purdue University. The principal investigator is Alok Chaturvedi. The goal is to study bio-terror threats, which require a significant improvement in our capabilities to analyze the human response to an attack, both at the level of the citizens (mobility, infection, and the feeling of well-being) and at the level of responders and policy makers (coordination, control, planning, and policy formulation). This project will address these issues using a geography based synthetic environment with artificial and human agents. Computational models of artificial agents' position, mobility, infection-susceptibility and the state of well-being will be developed. Intuitive interfaces will be provided to human agents to carry out the complex coordination roles. Together, their behaviors will be used to analyze how a bio-terror attack may spread through the population and how its impact might be contained by different intervention strategies.
