Hardware-software system for simulation of hazardous gas releases.

In this paper we describe GEPSUS-W, a wearable system for hazardous gases dispersion simulation in case of manmade accidents. The system architecture, simulation methodology and preliminary results are elaborated. Emphasis is given to real-time embedded systems that allow automatic data entry and on the spot responder interaction with situations. The approach and system are verified in real conditions.
