I-REACT PROJECT WORKSHOP IN VENICE 2019
I-REACT PROJECT WORKSHOP IN VENICE 2019

JoinPad unveils and tests in Venice the latest technologies against floods, fires, and extreme weather

From May 9th to 10th, experts in disaster management from around Europe met in Venice at the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe to introduce the tools developed by the I-REACT project, funded by the European Commission, which aims to provide citizens and first responders with the right tools to deal with natural hazards. The workshop gathered European Civil Protection agencies, researchers and emergency management experts from around Europe.

During the two-day workshop, the attendees were able to test the tools first-hand, through a series of training sessions, in-field simulations of a flood scenario and a final feedback session on the functionalities of the system: a centralized, modular and interoperable Big Data platform. […] The platform also incorporates a social media engine that uses natural language processing and machine learning to filter information from Twitter, providing real-time insights into the situation.

As explained by Dr. Claudio Rossi, researcher of the Mobile Solution research area at the LINKS Foundation of Torino, Italy, and technical coordinator of the I-REACT project:

“Big Data and Artificial Intelligence are the main strengths of the project, as they allow us to transform raw data into useful information. This is extremely helpful nowadays, since Social Media has turned each citizen into a source of information”.

JoinPad developed the augmented reality version of the application to be deployed on smart glasses that provides the wearer with additional information on their location and surroundings. They add a layer to reality, so responders can see incoming video-feed from other locations (to see how the situation is advancing), and allows them to send reports directly to their managers in an easy way.

Among other solutions, there was a wearable able to detect intoxication and a free I-React application, both on iOS and Android, which enables users to receive alerts on natural hazards.

This two-day workshop served as a turning point for I-REACT, marking the end of the research and implementation phase, and inaugurating the breakthrough of the technologies into the market. The solutions are the result of a three-year European project that now starts its new stage as a company.

About I-React

I-REACT will be the first European-wide platform to integrate emergency management data coming from multiple sources, including that provided by citizens through social media and crowdsourcing. This way, we will be able to produce information faster and allow citizens, civil protection services and policymakers to effectively prevent and/or react against disasters.
