RADIUSI is a term used in computing and data management to designate a modular framework and data standard for handling radial and distance-based datasets. There is no single universally adopted specification; rather, multiple independent projects and organizations have used the term to describe related efforts that emphasize radius-based data structures and queries.

Its core concepts include a formal data model that represents radial relationships (center point, radius, and angular components where applicable), an indexing scheme optimized for radius-based queries, and a plugin architecture that supports sensors, datasets, and analytical algorithms. A defined application programming interface enables interoperability among components, while visualization modules provide representation of circular regions and radial metrics. Some implementations also include simulation and analysis tools for circular or radially symmetric phenomena.

Typical use cases span robotics and autonomous systems for proximity sensing and perimeter planning, geographic information systems that model circular buffers around locations, medical imaging studies focusing on circular regions of interest, and physics or computer graphics simulations involving radially symmetric fields.

Development and adoption of RADIUSI vary by community. Open-source efforts, vendor-provided libraries, and research projects contribute to a suite of compatible artifacts, but interoperability depends on adherence to common data shapes and serialization options. The term is used more as a family of related projects than a single standard.

Related topics include spatial databases, circular buffers, radial basis functions, and geospatial indexing.
