The aim of the project was to improve the learning process, in technical domains, within the field of environmental emergency management. A number of technologies are integrated: dynamic simulation, GIS, expert systems and case based reasoning. It was based on the integration of two products from previous projects, a distance learning system with a decision support system for emergency management with the addition of case based reasoning. 5 demonstration training systems were developed in a wide range of environmental emergency management scenarios, e.g. chemical spillage from a road traffic accident, pollution of a river estuary, fire in a train in a tunnel.

This 42 month project was funded by the European Union under the Framework 5, Information Society Technology programme (IST-1999-10176) - € 3,223,896.
