5.0 VIRTUAL PORT SIMULATION-PORT EVERGLADES ENVIRONS PI: Dr. Cliff Bragdon and Dr. Carl Berkowitz 5.1 Summary The US maritime ports are vital multi-use facilities both for commercial and military transportation activities and their safety and security is essential to the nation’s economic well-being; it is, therefore, critical to have the ability to conduct comprehensive safety and security analysis of all seaports. A key analysis tool for port safety and security is advanced simulation technology that depicts the air-land-seaport access and potential vulnerabilities in a virtual real-time format. This technology can examine port vulnerabilities from containers, docking berths, gantry operations to intermodal connections by using virtual simulation to address the uncontrolled access that can result in breaches of safety and security. This virtual simulation is able to replicate the entire infrastructure and transportation activity (moving people and goods) through a photo-realistic computer digitally based real-time presentation of both existing conditions and alternative future conditions in a port. Through this simulation process, the port will be able to identify vulnerabilities, create realistic scenes for examination, view elevations at various multi eye-points, and evaluate advanced technologies. This technology, also, allows for the development of surface and underwater scenes in order to evaluate incident response training, conduct tabletop exercises, train management personnel and more effectively develop transportation security systems. This report discusses the methodology used to build the Port Everglades virtual simulation model, including: data acquisition, using GIS information, inputting CAD files, overlaying intermodal traffic, converting information into a digitized data base, volumetric development and massing of infrastructure, texturing of fixed and mobile objects, visualization of climatic conditions, depicting time of day, presenti
