A spatiotemporal population subgroup model of radiation exposure
A spatiotemporal population subgroup model of radiation exposure
Understanding the whereabouts of vulnerable population subgroups during emergencies can improve
the targeting and implementation of countermeasures, including evacuation and sheltering. This paper
uses spatiotemporal population density modelling and atmospheric dispersal modelling to estimate the
radiation exposure of a specific population at different times of day, during the start of a hypothetical
radiation accident scenario in Exeter, UK. The model outputs are analysed by GIS to discern
spatiotemporal trends in population exposure, and to identify the times of day when population
subgroups may be most at risk.

Abstract
Understanding the whereabouts of vulnerable population subgroups during emergencies can improve
the targeting and implementation of countermeasures, including evacuation and sheltering. This paper
uses spatiotemporal population density modelling and atmospheric dispersal modelling to estimate the
radiation exposure of a specific population at different times of day, during the start of a hypothetical
radiation accident scenario in Exeter, UK. The model outputs are analysed by GIS to discern
spatiotemporal trends in population exposure, and to identify the times of day when population
subgroups may be most at risk.
