TREEADS

TREEADS aims to build upon state-of-the-art products and unite them in a holistic Fire Management platform that optimizes and reuses the available socio-technological resources in all three main phases of wildfire management. For the Prevention and Preparedness phases, TREEADS propose the use of a real-time risk evaluation tool that can receive multiple classification inputs and work with a newly proposed neural network-powered risk factor indicator. To create a model of Fire Adapted Communities (FAC) in parallel to insurance incentives, TREEADS will use Alkali-Activated Materials (AAM), integrating Post-wildfire Wood Ashes (PWA) for fire-resilient buildings and infrastructure. TREEADS also uses a variety of technological solutions such as the Copernicus infrastructure, and a swarm of small drones customized for accurate forest supervision. In the area of Detection TREEADS propose a variety of toolsets that will accommodate most needs, ranging from Virtual Reality for the training, wearables for the protective equipment of the emergency responders, to UAVs and airships for improving capacity in temporal and spatial analysis as well as for increasing the inspected area coverage.

TREEADS will build a new restoration initiative that will use all modern techniques such as agroforestry, drones for seed spread, Internet of Things sensors that will be able to adapt the seeding process based on the ground needs and, on the same time, with the help of AI to determine post-fire risks factors. TREEADS solution will be demonstrated and validated under real operating conditions. Demonstration will involve eight complex pilot implementations executed in seven EU countries and in Taiwan.

In TREEADS, ITI/ CERTH will have significant contribution by leading one Task in WP4 aiming at the estimation of fire danger index by employing Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in order to extract knowledge from social media data, satellite imagery and other sources. ITI/ CERTH will also lead two Tasks in WP5, one that will develop a four-layered wildfire detection, targeting and extinction system based on the interoperation of satellites, pseudo-satellites (Zeppelin), aerial and remote sensing systems. The developed solutions cover web and social media mining, big data processing, decision support and visual analytics.
