vieWTerra Evolution, vieWTerra Mobile och vieWTerra Base från VWORLD bildar en “GIS & Simulation”-produktsvit som gör det möjligt för räddningspersonal att snabbt bygga en virtuell 4D-representation (syntetisk 3D-miljö + tidsdimension) av valfritt potentiellt krisområde i hela världen, tillgängligt för både stationära datorer (offline-/onlineprodukt) och mobila enheter (webbläsarapplikation för stationära datorer, surfplattor och smartphones). Dessa lösningar tillhandahåller en gemensam operativ bild (Common Operational Picture) till både kommandocentralen och räddningsenheterna ute på fältet.
OM LÖSNINGEN:
vieWTerra Evolution är en 4D Earth Viewer såväl som en plattform & för integration och utveckling av datatillgångar. Den kan användas för att modellera valfri typ av 3D-scen på jorden och skapa scenarion på deras verkliga plats i världen för att simulera händelser under krisberedskapsfasen och fungera som en global förvaringsplats för skapande av en anpassad världsomspännande GIS, som antingen kan användas perfekt offline (på persondatorer, bärbara datorer eller Windows-surfplattor, med användning av cache för potentiell användning även på fältet), eller portad i en online-arkitektur (Internet eller privat intranätserver), för att möjliggöra delning av information och tillgångar mellan flera berörda parter under krishanteringsfasen. Utbyte av information kan ske i båda riktningarna, antingen till eller från fältet och det är möjligt att ta fotografier på plats med hjälp av vanligt förekommande smartphones/surfplattor och dela med kommandocentralen.
vieWTerra Evolution presenterar en ellipsoidisk modell av jorden, som definieras med en bestämd upplösningsnivå(vieWTerra Base global 29m Imagery, 90m DEM- kommande 2020: 29m DEM, 29m landtäckningsdatabas) och gör det möjligt för användarna att integrera noggranna bilder, DEM och landtäckningsdataset med upp till 45 cm upplösning var som helst i världen, utan några begränsningar vad gäller områdestäckning.
Erbjuder redan kontinuerlig tidpunkt på dagen (skuggor och ljus i realtid) och dynamiska vädersimuleringsfunktioner, som kan anknytas till väderdatamatning för aktuell dag.
Erbjuder lättanvända dra och släpp-funktioner för att lägga till egna data och tillgångar från lera olika källor (3D-objekt/byggnader, dynamiska och användarstyrda enheter som räddningsenheter inom alla domäner, t.ex. helikoptrar, drönare, brandbilar, fartyg, osv., som kan användas för att antingen skapa scenarion eller representera rörelser för aktiva tillgångar, som använder kommunikationsprotokoll; formfiler eller 2D-draperier som definierar exempelvis värmekartor, katastrofkartor, spridningsmodeller, taktisk situation...; fotogrammetri eller LiDAR-inhämtad 3D-terräng eller objektmodeller; anpassade etiketter, information eller instruktioner i PDF-format, fotografier, videor eller ljudinspelningar från platsen...), allt inom samma programvara.
Kan alternativt även användas för åtkomst till valfri Open Geospatial Consortium-dataström av WMS/WMTS-standardtyp, som visas som kompletterande överlägg över vieWTerra virtual Globe, som exempelvis Open Street Map-kartografi, Copernicus web services Imagery eller Copernicus Emergency Management Service-tillgångar som exempelvis EFFIS-brandprognoser, osv.
vieWTerra Evolution erbjuder också realtidsortorifiering och drapering av nyförvärvade bilder från satellit- eller drönarhämtning som toppmodern prototypmodul för snabb kartläggning och uppdatering av terrängdatabasen.
vieWTerra Mobile kompletterande applikation tillåter visning av samma data- och tillgångsdatabas i ett mobil-, Internet- eller intranätbaserat HTLM5-visningsprogram (via flera plattformar: PC/Mac, surfplattor, smartphones).
VAD KAN LÖSNINGEN ÖVERBRYGGA?
- Begränsningar av förmågan att modellera stora områden (beredskapsfas) och tillhandahålla omedelbar kartläggning (insatsfas)
- Interoperabilitetsfrågor: särskilt genom att integrera olika datakällor och tillåta datadelning mellan flera berörda parter, eftersom alla dataset slås samman i en enda « One World »-miljö och inkapslas av en enda gemensam databas
- Avsaknad av gemensam operativ bild: ger en 3D-återgivning (mycket kognitiv och interaktiv verklighetsliknande miljö) som stöd för genomförandet av operationer både för beslutsfattare och chefer i kommandocentralen och insatsenheter ute på fältet

DRIVER+ Försök i Österrike
DRIVER+ Trial Austria was organised by the Austrian Red Cross (ARC) together with the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT).
It was conducted as a multi-day field exercise under the framework (and in parallel) of a Large Scale European Civil Protection exercise in Eisenerz, Austria.
THE : A HEAVY EARTHQUAKE IN THE LOCAL REGION OF EISENERZ
The central area of Austria has been struck by a heavy earthquake and subsequent heavy rains.
The local region of Eisenerz (in Styria, Austria) is one of the most affected with missing persons, casualties, collapsed buildings, blocked roads, and endangered industries working with hazardous substances.
Inhabitants have left their houses being afraid of aftershocks and collapsing of buildings. They have to spend the next days outdoors due to the lack of temporary shelter and blocked roads.
Similarly, there is a disruption of lifelines such as water, food, shelter, transportation and medical care. Electricity and mobile networks are severely damaged.
All local and national emergency response organizations have been deployed on site (Austrian Red Cross, fire brigades, police and the army); however, due to the extension of the affected area and overwhelmed national response capacities, the union civil protection mechanism was activated. A request of international assistants was activated with regards to medical treatment, water purification as well as search and rescue.
Due to the difficulty to access the affected area and considering the impact of the disaster, there is an urgent need for humanitarian assistance and assessment.
A large amount of volunteers and rescue equipment is needed to deal with the increasing number of affected people i.e. search and rescue, shelter, medical care, water food and transportation.
Additionally, there is also an urgent need for the management of spontaneous volunteers.
THE ACTORS INVOLVED
The scenario requires a commitment of stakeholders from different crisis management levels and from all the agencies participating in the response:
- Austrian Red Cross
- Austrian Fire Brigades
- Police
- Army
- Decision makers and authorities
Other emergency response organizations from neighbouring countries were expected to participate following the procedures from the union civil protection mechanism (UCPM). The exercise was also serve as testing environment for introduction and establishment of standard operating procedures (SOPs), standards and concepts, of the UCPM within central European region.
Actions were taken by the stakeholders in a realistic information environment, based on currently available means, crisis management plans, rescue procedures and good practices of participants
DRIVER+ Slutgiltig demonstration
The Final Demonstration (Final Demo) was the last Trial, concluding the series of DRIVER+ Trials. It also provided an opportunity to showcase the main outcomes of the Project.
The event had been tailored to the needs of the main End-User – the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) – and was conducted in accordance with the project’s methodology. The ERCC, situated in Brussels, was created in 2001, following the European Parliament Decision on Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM). It is the highest Crisis Management coordination body in the European Union. The primary aim of the UCPM is to strengthen cooperation between Participating States – Members States and others affiliated in the UCPM – in the field of civil protection, in order to respond to disasters as effectively and synergistically as possible. Since 2001, the UCPM has been activated over 300 times and each year the number of activations is growing. New innovative solutions, improving the realisation of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism tasks, are continually being sought.
The ERCC monitors the situation from Brussels and has an expert support group deployed on the ground called the European Union Civil Protection Coordination Team (EUCPT). The main role of the EUCPT is to coordinate activities in the field by liaising between the UCPM Modules and the Local Emergency Management Authority (of the country stricken by a disaster), in order to provide a common understanding of the needs and to ensure a relevant and timely response.
The Final Demo addressed the communication aspects between the UCPM components, mainly the ERCC, the EUCPT and the Modules, which are sent to the country in crisis by states affiliated within the scope of the UCPM. The main areas addressed were:
• reporting on the operational activities from the field to the ERCC;
• information exchange among Team Leaders of the Modules, and the EUCPT;
• geo-information support for situation assessment and decision-making for Team Leaders of the Modules and the EUCPT.
GAP 1
Shortcomings in interoperability in the ability to exchange crisis-related information among agencies and .
GAP 2
Lack of a “Common Operational Picture” to integrate data sources and calculation results from different models crucial for the decision making process.
GAP 3
Limitations in the ability to merge and synthetise disparate data sources and models (e.g. historic events, spreading models, tactical situation, critical assets map) in (near) real time to support decision making.
FINAL DEMO SCENARIO
MAJOR FOREST FIRE- EUCPM ACTIVATION
The fictional country Driverstan, situated outside the European Union but relatively close, is a democratic republic, however, is not yet as fully developed as the EU countries – it is lacking solid Crisis Management structures, a stable economy and a strong civil society. The of the Final Demo focused on largescale forest fires in a rural area with potential developments, causing a complex humanitarian crisis.
Due to high temperatures and lack of rainfall during recent weeks, the number of forest fires is multiplying in the country. Domestic response capabilities are not sufficient to cope with the fires alone. Driverstan creates a Request for Assistance (RfA) that is shared with the ERCC, EU Member States and affiliated countries. The Union Civil Protection Mechanism was activated and offer of support from different countries was gathered.
The scenario expected to trigger an exchange of information between the ERCC, EUCPT and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The use of the DRIVER+ selected innovative solutions, tested alongside the standard operational procedures of the ERCC, EUPCT and Modules, demonstrated the potential added value of the solutions in such a Crisis Management situation.
