MoSCI-ECOSPACE
Status date: 08 January 2021
The MoSCI - ECOSPACE product is a service for storage, processing, visualisation and analysis of Earth and airborne observation datasets. It aims at delivering meaningful information for overseeing and managing risks to critical infrastructure (CI) in coastal and riverine settlements. The service targets in priority the public water authorities responsible for managing coastal and riverine areas and resources; the utilities, contractors and engineering consultants; and the international financial institutions and insurance brokers.
MoSCI
Status date: 20 January 2020
MoSCI - ECOSPACE is a suite of web-based subscription services for storage, processing, visualisation and analysis of earth and airborne observation datasets - spanning over a range of spatial and temporal resolutions, with capacity to deliver meaningful information for overseeing and managing risks to critical infrastructure (CI) in coastal and riverine settlements and be an early-warning decision support system.
Village Data Analytics
Status date: 02 December 2019
Village Data Analytics (VIDA) is a software-enabled service that automatically identifies remote villages and determines their suitability for a micro-grid installation using earth observation data and machine learning algorithms.
VIDA can be scaled across large user-defined areas to find a portfolio of viable micro-grid sites. This data-driven knowledge de-risks projects, reduces time and planning costs and enables investment at scale.
GREy (former BFPaaS)
Status date: 07 January 2021
The terrain profiles play increasingly critical role in the risk assessment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) operations planning and related risk assessment.
The BFPaaS project is a continuation of the feasibility study on the same topic and will end up in a creation of an automated system providing terrain profile (derived from the Sentinel-1 radar imagery and other data sources) along the pre-defined route.
Space for Sanitation - Woodco
Status date: 18 December 2020
This Feasibility Study explores business opportunities for the utilisation of satellite earth observation data, satellite communication and terrestrial communications to link toilets and sewage treatment facilities to wider sensor networks, to significantly augment sanitation management and the monitoring of public health.
MonICATO
Status date: 18 December 2020
MoniCATO proposes a backward compatible solution to secure the use of satellite-derived time in devices used by power grids (like Phasor Measurement Units and Intelligent Electronic Devices), combining authenticated Galileo signals, digital identity and Distributed Public Key Infrastructure (DPKI). Overall, the project proposes a new concept for the secure transmission of timing data among the nodes of the network and offers enhanced services for the monitoring of intentional interfering and cyber-attacks against GNSS signals and network devices.
Car-lileo
Status date: 18 December 2020
Car-lileo is a trustful, European platform solution giving car dealerships, detailers, service providers and the mobility sector an overview of their stock and insights at the Point of Sale. Cars, assets and persons interacting with them are located indoor/outdoor seamless, processes are optimized and customer experience enhanced.
RiPolMin
Status date: 18 December 2020
RiPolMin is a smart remote monitoring tool aimed at detecting pollution of rivers by mines. It is being developed and tested on abandoned mines in Cornwall, UK, and is designed for land, environmental and liability management. The tool applies novel processing to Sentinel-2 and drone-borne spectral signatures, to identify problem sites and track pollution at a local level.
heatwAIve
Status date: 17 December 2020
Extreme heat has a negative effect on human health. Due to climate change more intense and frequent heatwaves are expected to occur. The aim of the heatwAIve project was to develop an AI-based voice assistant to inform people about the risk of heatwaves and to provide them with behavioural recommendations. The related information is derived from Copernicus Earth observation (EO) and weather data.
VinoSAT
