Tuned for Security, Tool Sees Air Flows 12/02/2002
A tool developed originally to find unobstructed paths for wireless networks has been tuned up in a new version to serve homeland security.
VexLink, from Vexcel Corp., Boulder, Colo., is a multi-purpose geographic information system tool. It now has functions to model atmospheric propagation of gas and other contaminants. Users can apply data on air flow patterns and winds to track dispersal through landscapes of 3D building and terrain data.
