Information Technologies for Assessing the Effectiveness of the Quarantine Measures

ABSTRACT

The paper proposes to use information technology for modeling and assessing the effectiveness of alternative quarantine measures to prevent the spread of viral infections (for example, COVID 19). A software tool was developed to simulate the spread of a virus infection, the protection effectiveness and quarantine measures based on the Unity3D engine. The modeling process is accompanied by a visual display of the interaction of observation objects. Statistics are displayed dynamically and are presented both a statistical data and a graph. The simulation system is flexible and adaptive, allowing you to customize a number of parameters. Among which should be noted the following observation parameters (up to 1000 elements, with an increase at startup on computers with high performance);selection of protection means with a percentage of the number of objects that use the protection type;behavioral scenarios of observed objects. This allows you to check the effectiveness of quarantine measures, to assess the effectiveness of protecting the population from viral infections. The paper also demonstrates a comparison of the obtained simulation results. © 2022, IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
