On the feasibility of using 5G enabled smartphones to improve safety of vulnera...

Autonomous vehicles require sophisticated sensors to safely and timely detect the conditions of the world around them and act accordingly. However, just like human senses, sensors have limitations and blind spots. Vulnerable Road Users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, are at particular risk since they can quickly come to the road from a blind spot too late for the vehicle to react. This article evaluates the ...

A geographical information system for wild fire management

he CROSS-Fire project focus on developing a grid-based framework for wild fire management using FireStation (FS) as a standalone application that simulates the fire spread over complex topography. The overall software development is made of several components: client applications, which request geo-referenced data and fire spread simulation, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), which provide geo-referenced data,...

A platform to support civil protection applications on the GRID

The CROSS-Fire is a Portuguese NGI funded project focus-ing on the development of a grid-based risk management decision support system for the Civil Protection (CP), using forest fires as the main case study. The project defines a general approach for the development of a CP application by defining an architecture that integrates three main layers: the CROSS-Fire Platform and two external infrastructures: a Spa...

Bridging the gap between applications geospatial data and the Grid

Cross-Fire: a grid platform to integrate geo-referenced web services for real-t...

Fire propagation simulation tools are useful at different levels of forest fire management. From prescribed fire planning to fuel hazard assessment or to the development of fire suppression strategies on wildfires or even training activities. Nevertheless, real time use of such tools is still very limited among the operational authorities for several reasons: lack of good real time data, lack of training or eve...

An OGC-WS framework to run firestation on the grid

The CROSS-Fire project aims to develop a grid-based frame- work as a risk management decision support system for the civil protection authorities, using forest fires as the main case study and FireStation as the standalone CAD application that simulates the fire spread over complex topography. The CROSS-Fire initial tasks focussed on the development of a parallel version of the fire simulator engine, P-FireStat...

CROSS-Fire : a risk management decision support system on the Grid

The CROSS-Fire project aims to develop a grid-based risk management decision support system for the Civil Protection (CP) authorities, using forest fires as the main case study and FireStation as a standalone CAD application to simulate the fire spread over complex topography. CROSS-Fire approach is based in an architecture that includes: information models, encodings, and metadata that represent the scientific...

FireStation on the grid: aAfurther on the adoption of OGC/SDI standards

The project CROSS-Fire aims to develop a grid-based risk management decision support system for civil protection (CP) using forest fires as the main case study and FireStation (FS) as the standalone CAD application that simulates the fire spread over complex topography. The previous work focused on (i) parallelisation of the fire propagation execution model and (ii) integration on the EGEE infrastructure to sup...
