Powersim GIS Analyzer

”Connecting simulation with GIS makes a very efficient tool, and when used to prevent damage or increase emergency preparedness, safety for the population within the community is improved.”

by Torstein Nielsen, Chief of Emergency Management in Stavanger City

With the Powersim GIS Analyzer solution you can analyze how a critical event plays out in time. This off-the-shelf simulation product will take into consideration the terrain in the area and the present weather conditions.

NOTE: The GIS solution is developed for the Norwegian market. Thus, Powersim GIS Analyzer and the corresponding GIS/Line Simulation software is only available in the Norwegian market.

At present we offer three modules with Powersim GIS Analyzer : The Gas model - see what happens minutes and hours after a gas leakage The Rainfall model - investigate where water accumulates and whether heavy rainfall increases the risk for landslide NEW: The Sea Level model - analyze how waves and spring tide influence the coastline at different values of sea level

Powersim GIS Analyzer can be used to run the three off-the-shelf GIS Modules, and to present the simulation results in a GIS system, you need the GIS/LINE Simulation* tool from Norkart as well as maps for the area you want to investigate.
