Webinar Agenda
- Introduction to TREEADS and the Knowledge Marketplace Repository (KMR) (10 min)
Presented by Maria Pantazidou (INNOV-ACTS LIMITED)
- Solution 1: Four-Layered enhanced detection, targeting and extinction system (15 min)
A four-layer detection and response platform aggregating information from various sensors and altitudes to provide timely, accurate, and comprehensive information regarding emerging wildfire incidents, along with aerial fire extinguishing services. The integrated information enhances situational awareness and supports applications like hotspot detection, object recognition and optimal route planning for first responders. Hotspot detection, for instance, combines data from satellites, high altitude balloons, low and medium altitude UAVs, and other sensors to deliver reliable information, whereas terrain information from LiDAR sensors are utilized to determine safe routes for firefighters. The platform also integrates novel UAV-aided firefighting solutions for aerial fire suppression and extinguishing for swift and effective response.
Presented by Manos Michail (Centre for Research and Technology Hellas – CERTH)
- Solution 2: Wearable multi-sensor data acquisition component (NCSRD-MSU) for air pollutants (15 min)
The NCSRD-MSU is a cutting-edge wearable solution designed for the real-time monitoring of air quality characteristics & pollutants such as Temperature, Humidity, Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentration and Particulate Matter (PM) in various classes of mass and number concentrations. Specifically developed to enhance first responders’ (FR) safety, this multi-sensor system can be integrated with AR helmets, displaying pollutant concentrations in real time. By delivering critical data on environmental hazards, it significantly improves situational awareness and interconnectivity between the FR, their wearables, and command and control centers. The NCSRD-MSU empowers decision-making in hazardous environments, providing an essential tool for reducing risks and enhancing operational efficiency.
Presented by Konstantinos Panou (National Centre For Scientific Research Demokritos – NCSRD)
- Solution 3: Forest black box (15 min)
A system that consists of multitude IoT platforms and sensors strategically spread in the forest, monitoring flammable gas and smoke emissions, local temperature and humidity, capturing images and sounds and detecting movement.
Presented by Manolis Fountoulakis (Eight Bells Ltd – 8BELLS)
- Solution 4: AR Helmet (15 min)
An augmented reality (AR) helmet with embedded sensors aiming at facilitating the identification of dangerous locations and optimization of the course of action to combat wildfires through combining data such as the locations of individual firefighters, real-time temperature readings, real-time command visualization, real-time map views of the field of action.
Presented by Manolis Fountoulakis (Eight Bells Ltd – 8BELLS)
