Standardised geo-sensor webs and web-based geo-processing for near real-time situational awareness in emergency management

چکیده
Up-to-date, accurate, and reliable information is fundamental for time-critical decision support and sustainable emergency management. In this paper, we show how standardised geo-sensor webs, in combination with web-based geo-processing, can enhance efficiency in emergency response and management, demonstrated in the field of radiation safety. We focus on end user and information requirements and show how ‘live’ spatial-temporal analysis results of near real-time and mobile radioactive radiation sensor measurements can enhance the situational awareness of rescue forces for near real-time decision support. We validated our approach technically and methodologically through a radiation safety exercise. The end user feedback confirmed that this ‘live’ workflow can enhance the decision support and the emergency information management through near real-time situation awareness during and after a damaging event.

Live Geography: Interoperable Geo-Sensor Webs Facilitating the Vision of Digital Earth
In the last decade, rapidly declining sensor costs and intense research in sensor technologies lead to the deployment of a number of sensor networks. However, most of these sensor networks are monolithic stovepipe-like systems causing limited interoperability and reusability of both data and workflow components. We present a Live Geography approach which integrates real-time measurement data in...

Geo-sensor networks have traditionally been built up in closed monolithic systems, thus limiting trans-domain usage of real-time measurements. This paper presents the technical infrastructure of a standardised embedded sensing device, which has been developed in the course of the Live Geography approach. The sensor pod implements data provision standards of the Sensor Web Enablement initiative,...

Designing a Volunteer Geographic Information-based service for rapid earth quake damages estimation Introduction The advent of Web 2.0 enables the users to interact and prepare free unlimited real time data. This advantage leads us to exploit Volunteer Geographic Information (VGI) for real time crisis management. Traditional estimation methods for earthquake damages are expensive and tim...
متن کاملTowards Realisation of Heterogeneous Earth-Observation Sensor Database Framework for the Sensor Observation Service based on PostGIS
Environmental monitoring and management systems in most cases deal with models and spatial analytics that involve the integration of in-situ and remote Geosensor observations. In-situ sensor observations and those gathered by remote sensors are usually provided by different databases and services in real-time dynamic services such as the Geo-Web Services. Thus, data have to be pulled from diffe...
