As a part of a recap of the successful pilots that took place in September and October 2024, let us go back to the first one of the successful autumn season! 🛬 🍂 The #SILVANUSProject platform 👨💻 was tested at the Rodna Mountains in the Carpathians in northern Romania in September, as the first one in a series of pilots in the fall of 2024. 👏🏻 Organised by the Consortium member ASFOR Romania (Romanian Forestry Association), the #platform testing featured components such as the AR/VR training for firefighters 🥽 👩🚒, developed by SIMAVI Software Imagination & Vision, and fire detection at the edge using drones by Atos. These components were tested during an exercise demonstration that included firefighters from Bistrița county, rangers, police department, Consortium partner SMURD (Mobile Emergency Service for Reanimation and Extrication), Salvamont (National Association of Mountain Rescuers from Romania) and enjoyed the support of the Sub-Prefect of Bistrita-Năsăud county Mr. Atilla-Lehel Décsei. News footage from the pilot site (in Romanian) is available at this link: https://lnkd.in/d-M4EWEs The AR/VR video: https://lnkd.in/dSgBTMxX Thank you to the #SILVANUSProject team and the stakeholders for facilitating another successful pilot! #wildfiremanagement #climatechange

#SILVANUSProject has concluded its month of trailblazing #pilots this week with a demonstration and a thorough testing of the #platform in the enchanting forests of Evia Island in Greece. 🛫 🚒 Organised by Consortium member Region of Central Greece, the pilot was conducted in the vicinity of Gialtra in the north part of Evia Island on October 30th, 2024. 🤝 #SILVANUSProject team members from Region of Central Greece, Netcompany-Intrasoft, Ελληνική Ομάδα Διάσωσης - Hellenic Rescue Team, EXUS, Center for Security Studies (KEMEA), University of Thessaly, Agricultural University of Athens and Dell Technologies ensured efficient platform testing during the fire simulation exercise 💻, with an emphasis on the following components:   🔥 #Fire spread model 🩺 #Health impact assessment (air quality evaluation) 🦺 #Evacuation route planning 🔢 #Resource allocation of response teams 🕹️ Forward #command centre 📱 Silvanus #citizen engagement and fire #reporting app 🖥️ Platform #dashboard Along with the SILVANUS team, the pilot implementation was made possible by the stakeholders from the Fire Service of the Industrial Area of Lamia, the police, the emergency services, and the support of the local administration. 👏 Thank you to #SILVANUSProject partners and Greek stakeholders for the final pilot of this particularly active period. More to come soon! 🌐 #wildfiremanagement #climatechange

The Croatian pilot has successfully made the landing! 🛩️ In the karst landscape of the beguiling Croatian region of Dalmatia ⛰️ 🌊, in the vicinity of the Firefighting center for education and technological development Split - VACETRAS 👩🏻🚒, #SILVANUSProject wildfire management #platform was tested to its full potential. 👨🏻💻🦾 The pilot fire #simulation exercise began with citizens reporting a fire incident through the SILVANUS citizen engagement app 📱 (available for download at Google Play https://lnkd.in/dKCQX6Fs and App Store https://lnkd.in/dfD4ES3K), followed by a fire #detection through the IoT camera devices [◉°], the deployment of a #drone for fire inspection 🛰, the assessment of #health impact assessment by the air quality sensor to ensure a safe passage for firefighters or citizens 🩺, and finally a ground #robot to extinguish the fire. 🤖  Forward command centres were established at the site 🖥️ 🕹️ in one of the fire engine vehicles, where the SILVANUS platform #dashboard was set up to make swift decisions on the field for an efficient and timely deployment of manpower and technology. The #platform could then determine and plan the #evacuation routes for citizens and firefighters, model future fire #spread, adjust the drone inspection flight plan, and much more. Multiple forward command centres can also communicate with each other on the field. Thank you to SILVANUS partner Hrvatska vatrogasna zajednica - Croatian Firefighting Association, and the Fire Brigades of Split-Dalmatia County for organising a successful implementation and testing of the fully integrated SILVANUS wildfire management platform, on #SustainabilityDay and on the eve of #InternationalDayforClimateAction! The platform is now in its full swing, and will hopefully contribute significantly to more efficient wildfire management in EU countries and beyond.

#SILVANUSProject pilots have reached the beautiful and sunny Dalmatian coast! ✈ At the Firefighting Training Centre VACETRAS in Vučevica near Split, Croatia, on the eve of #SustainabilityDay, the team was preparing the grounds for a pilot demonstration of the SILVANUS #platform on the 1st day of the pilot. 💻🦾 Organised by the Consortium member Hrvatska vatrogasna zajednica - Croatian Firefighting Association, this pilot is a continuation of the first successfully implemented SILVANUS pilot exercise in 2023, that took place at the training centre of Šapjane in the vicinity of Rijeka, Croatia. 💧 The exercise now has the privilege of testing the fully integrated version of the platform. The focus of the exercise will be on the following components: 🛰 #Drone monitoring of  #wildfire behaviour [◉¯]  #Fire  #detection from  #IoT devices 🦾 Ground  #robot fire  #detection 🩺 #Health impact assessment (air quality evaluation) 🕹️ Forward #command centre  📱 Silvanus  #citizen engagement and fire #reporting app 🖥️ Platform #dashboard A rehearsal included a detection of smoke by the IoT device, a citizen reporting a fire incident through the Silvanus app, and the establishment of a forward command centre at the incident site for a more efficient deployment of resources such as drones and ground robots to extinguish the fire. 🔥 Thank you to Hrvatska vatrogasna zajednica - Croatian Firefighting Association for generously hosting the event and welcoming the team. After the pilot rehearsal on the 1st day of the programme, the #SILVANUSProject team was welcomed by the firefighters of Fire Brigade Split, where the firefighting techniques and experiences were explained in detail. 👩🚒 More to come, as today the pilot demonstration will be fully implemented and shown to stakeholders! 🤝 #wildfiremanagement #climatechange
