Abstract
The paper proposes to use information technology for modeling and assessing the effectiveness of alternative quarantine measures to prevent the spread of viral infections (for example, COVID 19). A software tool was developed to simulate the spread of a virus infection, the protection effectiveness and quarantine measures based on the Unity3D engine. The modeling process is accompanied by a visual display of the interaction of observation objects. Statistics are displayed dynamically and are presented both a statistical data and a graph. The simulation system is flexible and adaptive, allowing you to customize a number of parameters. Among which should be noted the following: observation parameters (up to 1000 elements, with an increase at startup on computers with high performance); selection of protection means with a percentage of the number of objects that use the protection type; behavioral scenarios of observed objects. This allows you to check the effectiveness of quarantine measures, to assess the effectiveness of protecting the population from viral infections. The paper also demonstrates a comparison of the obtained simulation results.
