Enabling development of a decision support system for increasing the resilience of transportation infrastructure based on combined use of terrestrial and airborne sensors and advanced modelling tools

The PANOPTIS Horizon 2020 project started in June 2018 comprising 14 partners from the industry and academia. It aims to improve the resilience (ability to adapt) of road infrastructures and ensure reliable network availability under unfavorable conditions, such as extreme weather, landslides, and earthquakes. It combines down-scaled climate change scenarios, structural and geotechnical simulation tools, and online data from sensors (terrestrial and airborne) to provide the operators with an integrated tool able to support effective management of their infrastructures at the planning, maintenance and operation level. The following technologies are implemented in the PANOPTIS tool:
- Reliable quantification of climatic, hydrological and atmospheric stressors
- Multi-Hazard vulnerability modules and assessment toolkit
- Development of a forecasting module to provide high-resolution tailored weather and precipitation forecasts
- Improved assessment of structural and geotechnical safety risk
- Improved multi-temporal, multi-sensor observations with robust spectral analysis, computer vision and machine-learning damage diagnostics for diverse road infrastructure systems
- Detailed and wide area transport asset mapping, integrating state-of-the-art mobile mapping and making use of UAV technology
- Design of a Holistic Resilience Assessment Platform
- Design of a Common Operational Picture including a Decision Support System, an enhanced visualization interface and an Incident Management System.
