A Cloud-Based Platform for Marine Oil Spill Emergency Response Capability Visualization

With the booming of marine industry, occurrence of maritime oil spills will not only loss of life and property, but also has brought about a long-term and bad influence to ocean environment and ecosystem system. This paper introduces a platform architecture for marine oil spill response capacity visualization, and elaborates the visualization of oil spill emergency elements, emergency resources dynamic interconnection and regional oil spill response capability with marine oil spill accidents. The platform is based on the B/S (browser/server) framework along with the tools of Baidu map API and MapV visualization system to realize the oil spill emergency resources visualization, oil spill emergency capability visualization and oil spill emergency response. The successful running of the platform provides scientific support for the decision-making in handling the oil spill emergency.
