Imagine a city that knows exactly which buildings are most at risk during a heatwave or flood and tells the right people instantly. It's like giving a city a nervous system that connects weather satellites to individual home sensors. This helps the most vulnerable people get to safety before a disaster hits.
Cities struggle to protect vulnerable citizens from climate disasters because they lack real-time, building-specific data and a way to send targeted alerts to those who cannot easily evacuate.
A suite of 4 tools: an automated sensor alert system, a Digital Building Twin, a Digital Building Renovation Passport, and a Decision Support platform.
If you are a property management firm dealing with aging building stocks and climate risks — this project developed a Digital Building Twin and Renovation Passport that identifies critical hotspots to prioritize structural upgrades.
If you are a software provider dealing with slow emergency notification speeds — this project developed a sensor-based IT automated alert system that prioritizes warnings based on the specific architectural and social context of the area.
If you are a planning agency dealing with uncontrolled urbanization and flood risks — this project developed a Decision Support platform that uses satellite images and sensor networks to simulate future disaster projections.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a research and innovation action.
The project is currently being tested in 3 pilot areas across Portugal, Slovakia, and Estonia to prove the concept before wider scaling.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not listed; however, the consortium includes 18 partners including 6 industry entities.
It integrates by aggregating existing data from weather stations, sensor networks, and satellite images into a single data-driven tool.
The project period runs from 2024-05-01 to 2028-04-30, suggesting a multi-year development and piloting phase.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 18 partners with a 33% industry ratio (6 companies). The presence of 5 SMEs suggests a focus on agile development and specialized tech implementation, while the mix of 5 universities and 4 research centers ensures the scientific validity of the computational analysis.
