Rapid Post-Event Catastrophe Modelling and Visualization1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catastrophe models capable of rapid data ingestion, loss estimation and visualization are required for postevent analysis of catastrophic events such as earthquakes. This paper describes the design and development of the Automated Post-Event Earthquake Loss Estimation and Visualization (APE-ELEV) system for real-time estimation and visualization of losses incurred due to earthquakes. A model for estimating expected losses due to earthquakes in near realtime is described and implemented. Since immediately postevent data is often available from multiple disparate sources, a geo-browser is described that helps users to visualize and integrate hazard, exposure and loss data. Keywords-post-event earthquake analysis; catastrophe modelling; loss estimation; loss visualization

The application of componentised modelling techniques to catastrophe model generation
In this paper we show that integrated environmental modelling (IEM) techniques can be used to generate a catastrophe model for groundwater flooding. Catastrophe models are probabilistic models based upon sets of events representing the hazard and weights their likelihood with the impact of such an event happening which is then used to estimate future financial losses. These probabilistic loss e...
متن کاملM/M/1 Feedback Queue Subject to Catastrophe and Repairment
In this paper, an M/M/1 queue with instantaneous Bernoulli feedback is studied in the event of server failure, the catastrophe occurs and after repair, it starts to work again. The transient response for the probability function of the system size is presented. The steady state analysis of system size probabilities and some performance measures of system are provided. Then the resu...

متن کاملEvolving Tip Structures Can Explain Age-Dependent Microtubule Catastrophe
Microtubules are key structural and transport elements in cells. The dynamics at microtubule ends are characterized by periods of slow growth, followed by stochastic switching events termed "catastrophes," in which microtubules suddenly undergo rapid shortening. Growing microtubules are thought to be protected from catastrophe by a GTP-tubulin "cap": GTP-tubulin subunits add to the tips of grow...
متن کاملUsing open building data in the development of exposure data sets for catastrophe risk modelling
One of the necessary components to perform catastrophe risk modelling is information on the buildings at risk, such as their spatial location, geometry, height, occupancy type and other characteristics. This is commonly referred to as the exposure model or data set. When modelling large areas, developing exposure data sets with the relevant information about every individual building is not pra...
