Simulations that are both accurate and detailed can
be costly to implement. As such, we examine the
trade-offs of using virtual environments provided by
the Torque game engine to simulate a real world
seaport, including illicit cargo and the sensors
designed to detect such cargo. Specifically, we
discuss the modeling of daily operations and issues
involved in simulating a dynamic environment (e.g,
ships, cargo containers, cranes, and trucks). Finally
we cover conclusions drawn from using game engines
for simulation purposes, both advantages and an
investigation of feasibility concerns....
