Abstract
The Python Urban Deployment Model (PyUDM) is a simulation tool used to investigate networks of static radiation detectors in urban environments. PyUDM simulates traffic, stationary NaI gamma-ray detectors, and moving radioactive sources on simulated vehicles. The analyzed output of the simulations contain valuable insights into the performance of different configurations of urban radiological detector configurations such as their ability to detect sources moving through the environment. To accurately simulate radioactive material moving through urban environments, PyUDM combines Monte Carlo simulation tools, publicly available map and traffic data, and measured gamma-ray spectra from urban environments.
