USE CASES
WEATHER EMERGENCY USE CASE
The Crexdata Weather-Induced Emergencies Use Case (EmCase) leverages cutting-edge technology to mitigate the impact of natural disasters, such as urban flooding and wildfires. These events have devastating effects globally, the EmCase focuses on real-time data, advanced simulations, and AI-driven tools to provide critical decision-making support.
Real-Time Event Forecasting and Simulation
- Urban Flooding Simulation with FloodWaive
- Processes weather forecasts into real-time 2D flood simulations.
- Predicts flooding scenarios and suggests optimized barrier heights to reduce impact.
- Wildfire Simulation with Spark
- Provides fire propagation models based on wind, humidity, and terrain data.
- Outputs include fireline intensity, flame height, and potential spread.
- Facilitates rapid response through visualized projections of fire behavior.
Augmented Reality (AR) for Emergency Management
- Flood Response:
- Visualizes flood levels, flow direction, and danger zones using HoloLens.
- Real-time routing integration with Mapbox and Kafka for enhanced navigation and safety.
- Interactive maps and uncertainty indicators aid decision-makers with color-coded risk visualization.
- Wildfire Response:
- Displays fire spread projections, team locations, and POIs in AR.
- Incorporates live weather data for real-time adjustments to firefighting strategies.
- Improves depth perception for better situational awareness during firefighting efforts.
Federated Machine Learning and UAV Applications
- Interactive UAV Modeling:
- Combines UAV-captured 3D models with simulations for real-time updates.
- Supports decision-making by merging real and simulated data for better route planning in urban floods.
- Mental Fatigue Monitoring for Rescuers:
- Uses eye-tracking and machine learning to assess fatigue in real-time.
- Ensures task allocation aligns with cognitive states for improved safety.
AI and Text Mining for Emergency Insights
- Real-Time Social Media Monitoring:
- Multilingual text mining extracts critical information during crises.
- Predicts event types (e.g., flood, fire) with high accuracy using machine learning models.
- Integrates with ARGOS to display geolocated insights for immediate action.
- Enhanced Decision Support:
- Provides summaries of critical developments via question-answering systems.
- Explores unsupervised clustering techniques to improve information accuracy.
