DDDAMS-based Urban Surveillance and Crowd Control via UAVs and UGVs

A comprehensive planning and control framework was designed and developed based on dynamic-data-driven, adaptive multi-scale simulation (DDDAMS) (see illustration) where dynamic data is incorporated into simulation, simulation steers the measurement process for data update and system control, and an appropriate level of simulation fidelity is selected based on the time constraints for evaluating alternative control policies using simulation.
