![]() Setting up a new applicationThe RiskWare system provides an open framework of data and tools that can easily be adapted to a new application in a new location. Defining the scopeThe first step involves defining the scope of the intended RiskWare application in terms of the types of accidents to be considered. The basic components of the system include:
They form the core of the RiskWare system. Defining the application domainAll ESS applications such as AirWare, RiskWare, WaterWare or CityWare require the definition of an application domain, i.e., the geographical area for the which models and data bases as well as the underlying GIS data will be set up.The minimum useful domain for an urban application is about 10 by 10 km; the maximum extent for the Gaussian (ISC) models is about 30-40 km; however, for a regional application, a larger area can be defined, within which more than one model area is defined. For WaterWare, the domain is defined by hydropgraphic catchments or subcatchments. Please note that the application domain should conform to one of the three supported aspect ratios:
The domain (and possible case study areas within the domain) should be defined in terms of their corner points, using the same coordinate system (Gauss-Krüger projection) as all the maps to be used in the system. Interface languageAll ESS applications like AirWare, CityWare, RiskWare and WaterWare are available with an English user interface.Versions in German, French, Spanish and Italian are also available for some of these systems. Adaptation to a new language can be achieved by translating the (ASCII) text files that define the text elements of the user interface. These include:
