## Software

The DEMODOS system is controlled through a user-friendly software interface written in Python. The software provides mission operators the ability to simulate radiation levels and control what is displayed on each participant's DDU and PAD. The software also includes features to simulate radiation noise, making the experience more realistic.

## Use Cases

DEMODOS is ideal for:
- **Training for space missions and Solars events** on how to select the best place to hide before cosmic radiation.
- **Training emergency response teams** on how to safely navigate radiation exposure zones.
- **Educational purposes** in institutions focusing on nuclear physics, radiology, or emergency preparedness.

- **Training for space missions (SPACEDOS version)**: The SPACEDOS variant of DEMODOS is designed to simulate radiation exposure on spacecraft in Earth orbit or during interplanetary missions. Astronauts can practice procedures for identifying optimal locations to shield themselves from harmful cosmic radiation, particularly during solar events like Coronal Mass Ejections (CME).

The simulator can be adapted for various scenarios, including simulating hotspots with higher radiation exposure, safe zones, and areas with gradual increases in radiation levels. Each participant’s data is tracked individually, allowing for detailed post-exercise evaluations.
- **Simulating radiation events on Earth**: DEMODOS enables exercises related to potential radiation leaks from industrial or energy facilities. Trainees can simulate decision-making processes during such incidents, affecting the course of the exercise based on their actions and strategies for minimizing radiation exposure.

- **Educational purposes**: DEMODOS is a valuable tool for institutions focusing on nuclear physics, radiology, or emergency preparedness. It provides a safe, controlled environment for learning about radiation, its effects, and proper safety protocols.

## Flexibility and Customization

The DEMODOS system is designed with scalability and adaptability in mind, making it suitable for a wide range of training environments and user needs. It can be scaled both in terms of the number of client dosimeters and the area of operation. Whether you are simulating radiation in a confined industrial facility or a large, open space, DEMODOS can be tailored to fit your specific requirements.
The DEMODOS system is highly flexible and scalable, making it adaptable to a wide variety of training environments and user requirements. It can be expanded in terms of the number of client dosimeters as well as the area covered by the system. Whether you are simulating radiation in a confined industrial facility or across a large, open space, DEMODOS can be configured to meet your needs.

- **Scalable number of dosimeters**: DEMODOS supports multiple dosimeters, allowing each participant to use their own device. This scalability ensures that the system can accommodate both small groups and large-scale training sessions involving multiple teams.

- **Scalable Area of Operation**: DEMODOS can be deployed in various environments, from small indoor spaces to large outdoor areas. For enclosed industrial sites, the system can integrate with existing on-premise infrastructure using the customer’s internal network. If sharing infrastructure is not possible due to legal or security restrictions, DEMODOS can be set up with a dedicated network specifically built for the training scenario.

- **Alternative Networking Technologies**: For expansive areas where Wi-Fi may not be reliable, DEMODOS can use alternative communication technologies that do not require close proximity to access points. This allows the system to operate efficiently even in large or remote training locations.

- **Individual and Group Radiation Settings**: Radiation levels can be adjusted for each participant individually or applied to groups. This allows for customized scenarios where different teams face varying radiation conditions during the exercise.

- **Hotspot Simulation with User Localization**: Using automatic user localization, the system can simulate areas with higher radiation levels (hotspots). As participants move through the training area, they experience changing radiation levels based on their location, adding realism to the simulation.

This flexibility makes DEMODOS easy to customize for specific training scenarios, ensuring it can meet the unique requirements of each exercise.

- **Scalable Client Dosimeters**: The system can support multiple dosimeters simultaneously, enabling team-based exercises where each participant uses their own device. This scalability ensures that DEMODOS can be used for both small-scale training sessions and large group exercises.

- **Scalable Area of Operation**: DEMODOS can be implemented in various environments, from compact spaces to large-scale outdoor areas. For closed industrial sites, the system can integrate with existing on-premise infrastructure, utilizing the customer's internal network for seamless operation. If using shared infrastructure is impractical due to legal or security concerns, DEMODOS can be deployed with a dedicated network built specifically for the training environment.

- **Alternative Networking Technologies**: In large areas where Wi-Fi coverage may be insufficient, alternative communication technologies can be utilized. These technologies enable operation without the need for nearby access points, ensuring flexibility even in large or remote locations.

All system parameters can be scaled and customized according to the user's needs. For further details or inquiries about the system's capabilities, please contact us.
