A Situation Analysis Toolbox for Course of Action Evaluation

Abstract

When positioning a number of static or mobile agents (human or autonomous) into an area for the purpose of surveillance, the positioning and motion strategies assigned to these agents impact on the situation awareness gained. This paper presents a toolbox that evaluates motion and placement strategies in a realistic surveillance context, using the Interpreted Systems semantics. Its five components implement relevant theoretical concepts: simulation of neutral and opposing forces? behavior, geometrical discretization of the Area of Interest, state space generation, state space analysis and visualization.
