Framework for Graphical User Interfaces of Geospatial Early Warning Systems
An important component of Early Warning Systems (EWS) for man-made and natural hazards is the command and control unit’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). All relevant information of an EWS is concentrated in this GUI and offered to human operators. However, when designing the GUI, not only the user experience and the GUI’s screens are relevant, but also the frameworks and technologies that the G...
متن کاملA Multimodal Locomotion User Interface for Immersive Geospatial Information Systems
In this paper we present a new multimodal locomotion user interface that enables users to travel through 3D environments displayed in geospatial information systems (GISs), e.g., Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth. When using the proposed interface the geospatial data can be explored immersively using stereoscopic visualization on a head-mounted display (HMD). When using certain tracking a...
متن کاملPrototype Early Warning Systems for Vector-Borne Diseases in Europe
Globalization and environmental change, social and demographic determinants and health system capacity are significant drivers of infectious diseases which can also act as epidemic precursors. Thus, monitoring changes in these drivers can help anticipate, or even forecast, an upsurge of infectious diseases. The European Environment and Epidemiology (E3) Network has been built for this purpose a...
متن کاملDevelopment of tsunami early warning systems and future challenges
Fostered by and embedded in the general development of information and communications technology (ICT), the evolution of tsunami warning systems (TWS) shows a significant development from seismic-centred to multisensor system architectures using additional sensors (e.g. tide gauges and buoys) for the detection of tsunami waves in the ocean. Currently, the beginning implementation of regional ts...
متن کاملTsunami early warning using earthquake rupture duration
[1] Effective tsunami early warning for coastlines near a tsunamigenic earthquake requires notification within 5–15 minutes. We have shown recently that tsunamigenic earthquakes have an apparent rupture duration, T0, greater than about 50 s. Here we show that T0 gives more information on tsunami importance than moment magnitude, Mw, and we introduce a procedure using seismograms recorded near a...
