As natural disasters become more frequent, there is a greater need to first predict how a disaster will unfold and then prepare for its effects and aftereffects. Disaster planning simulation has enormous potential to do this. Read more in this blog post about how this can be used to develop decision-making tools to reduce the impact of natural disasters.
Simulation is a powerful tool that helps plan hospital design and consider its capacity and resource utilization. Testing changes in a simulation rather than in real life leads to efficient and effective solutions based on the analysis of test results. The technology was frequently and successfully used during COVID-19 for evaluating disease spread and mass vaccination. Read how simulation is used to tackle healthcare-related challenges.
Our AnyLogic partners in China obtained a paper relating to COVID-19 and permission to publish a translation.
Writing this now, there is obviously a lot of interest surrounding the spread of the COVID-19, the coronavirus disease. The paper studies the prevalence of infection in a population using agent-based simulation and looks at the importance of factors such as the frequency of close contact among a population.
