{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"In early operational phases of severe weather events, a lack of\r\ninformation challenges emergency management teams to gain\r\nan overview of the situation and make informed decisions. To\r\nsupport situational exploration, unmanned aerial and ground\r\nvehicles attract increasing attention, primarily used to\r\ndocument operational sites. However, they offer further\r\npotential in early operational phases. To ensure their reliable\r\nuse for exploration, decision-makers must be aware of\r\nopportunities and limitations under prevailing conditions. For\r\nthis, use cases for robotic simulation in emergency response\r\nare presented, considering technical restrictions and dynamic\r\ninfluences from weather impacts. The approach of integrating\r\nrescue robot simulation into the response phase is developed\r\nfollowing a five-step research design. Existing use cases of\r\nrescue robot simulation are identified in a systematic literature\r\nanalysis. The results are extended with use cases developed for\r\nurban flooding scenarios. Subsequently, use cases are assessed\r\nand selected for implementation in the simulation environment\r\nGazebo. Finally, the results are validated with end users in the\r\nEU research project CREXDATA, which focuses on decision\r\nsupport based on processing extreme data. The implemented\r\nuse cases demonstrate the potential of robotic simulation in\r\nemergency response to accelerate action planning in decisionmaking and provide a more detailed picture, enabling betterinformed decisions.
