The AgroMAP Quality Control study was supported by ESA Space Solutions.
WaterSIM
Status date: 12 July 2024
Water is an essential resource under multiple stress factors, and the cause of multiple crises & conflicts. To manage the water risk and because the rivers often cross multiple countries and serves multiple usage, the stakeholders encounter difficulties to acquire accurate information about water to monitor and survey its quantity (availability & accessibility) and quality. Thanks to the combination of space-based tools and ground measurements, WaterSIM (Water Spatial and In Situ Monitoring Service) can leverage several issues & drastically improve the performance of ou customers and users for an ongoing monitoring and control of the water cycle of rivers and reservoirs and its state. This service enables to have an enhanced picture of water state, through water stress indicators and risk impact indicators, for improved decision-making for water resources management.
WARM
Status date: 12 July 2024
WARM uses Machine Learning to identify water stress based on satellite and remote sensing data. The result is a water resilience map that covers entire basins and shows water quantity, water quality, and climate factors in detailed areas.
ICUTrain
Status date: 26 July 2024
ICUTRAIN is an innovative hospital-train equipped with ambulatory and intensive care units and using space technologies to enable remote medical analyses and consultations that require data exchange and high communication security standards. ICUTRAIN can offer some advantages compared to other solutions because it travels ready for operation, thus requiring limited set-up time once the target destination has been reached. Continuous connectivity allows for both remote medical advice and precise train location on the railways.
