BROWSE PROJECTS
Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
AMMO
Status date: 04 December 2020
Ascend offers two distinct disruptive services that cover all types and sizes of airports, from the smallest to the largest ones. These services offer analysis of Earth Observation data for safety monitoring of the airport surroundings, and combine it with a cloud and browser based management system. Thereby the AMMO services are supporting the airport operators who are asked by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to comply with the regulation EU 139/2014 on aerodrome safety.
UrbanAI for Green Buildings
Status date: 04 December 2020
UrbanAI for Green buildings is a tool based on earth observation and drone data to provide a digital twin of the area surrounding green buildings. It will help smart cities, green energy providers, and smart buildings companies, to monitor and maintain green buildings areas and plan new ones.
Safeblock
Status date: 27 November 2020
Building safety is opaque and insufficient with constant reports of those responsible for safety failing in their duties. In light of recent tragedies like the Grenfell fire, improving trust in building safety for all stakeholders is key to enabling a strong and continuous safety culture in the housing sector.
airUTM
Status date: 27 November 2020
The airUTM platform model is an Unmanned Traffic Management System. airUTM can be viewed as federations of information architecture, data exchange protocols, software functions and infrastructure via web and mobile application.
Floating Weed Manager
Status date: 24 November 2020
Floating Weed Manager is a monitoring service for freshwaters where aquatic weeds cause social and economic disruption to communities living and working around impacted lakes and reservoirs. It combines radar and optical satellite EO data to provide weekly data and maps of weed coverage to support weed control programmes.
NIVCS
Status date: 23 November 2020
NIVCS is a project that leverages Oceanbolt’s ability to process and analyze AIS signals, leveraging the latest big data processing analytics frameworks and the extensive Global Navigation Satellite Systems. The aim of the project is to help combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, while providing transparency into fishery emissions.
DeFROST for Hydropower
Status date: 20 November 2020
Based on satellite data, DeFROST delivers the ultimate snow monitoring solution for Energy (hydropower) industry. With DeFROST, such actors can improve current water inflow seasonal forecast by ingesting snow data, as well as, diagnosing early snow melt events for hydropower energy generation optimization
UV-SAN
Status date: 20 November 2020
UV-San is a smart sanitization system which uses ultraviolet radiations to inactivate viruses and bacteria within ambulances. Relying on a patented control system, UV-SAN ensures high level of safety. UV-San can be used many times a day when the patient’s compartment is empty keeping geo-traceability of procedures carried out and reducing the time needed for the sterilization.
Virtual Watchkeeper
Status date: 18 November 2020
Shipping Companies invest in safely transporting goods and/or passengers. Maintaining a quality portfolio of vessels, along with leading marine safety standards and capability, have taken on a greater importance than ever. Besides mere compliance, they want to verify the safe practices on board and assess the competencies of crew members. Our comprehensive solution increases the situational awareness on board and verifies safe practices at any moment and/or review actions when needed.
COSPARIN
Status date: 17 November 2020
The objectives of this project are the improvement of vulnerability data by using spatial data and world-wide rainfall assessment in real-time via several algorithms that correlate infrared satellite images. The aim is to obtain an operational flood risk management base. The data can be used by competent organizations to ensure real-time crisis management.
