MARINE POLLUTANT MODELING
In today's world of increased Oil demand and shipping activity, Oil Spills are a reality. Increased Awareness towards Oil Spills and their effect of the environment and commercial shipping Activity means they cannot be ignored.

 |
|
Oil Spill Modeling systems fall under the category of "Process oriented" GIS based systems and have shown increased effectiveness in minimizing the effects of oil spill.
|
Our varied experience in marine GIS led us to build a one of its kind modeling system which integrates:
|
A GIS (Geographical Information System).
Complex Mathematical 'Models' Which Predict the Trajectory and Fate of Oil Spills by implementing Accepted research done by numerous scientists (Fay, Mackey..) and agencies NOAA).
Trend Databases of Ocean, Wind and Tidal Currents for space and time.
Database of Oil Types and parameters, Response Equipment and their capability, functioning, location
A Decision support system which combines models and Databases to yield answers. |

MARITIME SEARCH & RESCUE MODELING
WinSAR is a planning tool that improves the effectiveness of SAR response by using search theory to suggest optimal strategies to maximize the probability of finding the search object and will ensure the most efficient use of resources, taking both topographic and logistic factors into account.

|
WinSAR responds to the need of SAR by addressing its following crucial stages:
Search Area Determination
This module of the software concentrates on predicting the motion of the target object under the influence of winds, tides, ocean currents. It provides a MINIMAX datum projection which includes a changeable diversion angle, thus taking care of the uncertainty associated with Leeway.
Search Area Coverage
This component allows the Search planner to allocate resource (SRUs) to the determined Search Area. This process is made easy by a Decision Support System that suggests optimum resource allocation and is further aided by a probability grid to concentrate resource on crucial areas.
