The plenary progress meeting of the PANOPTIS H2020 project was held on March 5th - 7th in Metsovo Greece. In the course of this three-day plenary meeting, all partners presented their progress and discussed the future plans of the project implementation.
In addition a site visit took place on the first day where partners had the chance to examine bridges, drainage tunnels and road tunnels of the selected road section of ENGATIA Odos.
A new three and a half year project, funded by the European
Commission's Horizon 2020 Programme, will seek to develop a Decision Support System for increasing the Resilience of Road Infrastructure based on combined use of terrestrial and airborne sensors and advanced modelling tools. PANOPTIS, which was launched in Salonika on June 19th,
will leverage existing tools and services (e.g., climate models, modelling of extreme events and their impacts, Early Warning Systems (EWS), Structural Health (SH) / environmental monitoring sensors and EU services, such as Copernicus) as well as novel technologies (terrestrial and satellite imaging for RI inspection, advanced machine learning and data fusion techniques, etc.) in view of delivering an integrated platform that can be applied to RI, addressing multi-hazard risk understanding, smart prevention and preparedness, faster, adapted and efficient response.
C4Controls Ltd. primary role in this project is to design and develop the Holistic Resilience Assessment and Incident Management Platforms.
