Simulation of pandemics in real cities: enhanced and accurate digital laboratories.
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci
January 2021
Article Synopsis
- The study creates a modeling framework to simulate how infectious diseases spread in real cities by digitally replicating Birmingham (UK) and Bogotá (Colombia), including their environments and populations.
- It uses both predictable and random movement patterns of digital inhabitants to replicate real-life interactions, simulating millions of encounters and disease spread over extended periods with high-performance computing.
- The model effectively mirrors actual COVID-19 data for both cities and serves as a virtual laboratory for policymakers to explore and assess the impact of various epidemic containment strategies.
