  5. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Crisis Management Systems Common Features • Information (sensing devices – acoustic, smoke, temperature, fire, humidity, motion, picture, video etc.) • Processing (identification of event – verification, false alarms etc.) • Alarms to appropriate authorities • Coordination of activities

  6. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Some Examples of Crisis Management Systems Ad-hoc networks of autonomous sensors for the management of low probability high consequence events Two pilot applications Low Cost Catastrophic Event Capturing (LOCCATEC) Autonomous Surveillance in Public transport Infrastructure Systems (ASPIS)

  7. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center LOCCATEC Context 1 • Centrally administrated top-down approach, particularly in what regards CCTV based surveillance systems, poses three major issues: • The time needed, on the occurrence of an event, to process huge numbers of photos / videos; • The resources needed to maintain such centrally administrated systems; • The threat (or perception of threat) that the misuse of the acquired information poses to the privacy and civil liberties of our democratic societies (big brother syndrome). A different approach is based on autonomous, sensor-based agents that react (individually or collectively) to changes of their environment, collecting and dispatching useful information only when required.

  8. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Context 2 • The idea of small embedded sensor based devices that could, upon a specific event, form an ad-hoc network to give an alarm and/or communicate their information is very appealing, in particular for in-situ surveillance, for a number of reasons: • Data is collected, stored and dispatched only when needed; • No central administration is needed; devices should be place-and-forget; • Redundancy: decentralized information management minimizes the risk of a complete failure; • Privacy and intrusion issues are easier to tackle because data collection is linked exclusively to the catastrophic event The idea of using a surveillance system, based on low cost autonomous devices, as a SAR tool for locating people trapped under the ruins of collapsed buildings, took shape following the 1999 earthquake in Athens, Greece. That original concept materialized, through an EC financed project, to the LOCCATEC prototype system of wireless sensor based devices, which is described in the following section.

  9. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center LOCCATEC - scope • Prototype system, providing information on: • The presence (or not) of people in each closed space of the building during its collapse • Additional information on: • The state of the ruins • The state of persons trapped in the ruins • The mechanism of the collapse process • Background information on building (floor plans, use of rooms etc) • Primarily a SAR tool • Emergency planning & decision support functions

  12. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center LOCCATEC - technological issues • Triggering • Collapse anticipation • Low-cost but reliable solution • Some false triggering can be tolerated • Near 100% fail-safe  no collapse missed • Wireless Communications • Highly cluttered, unpredictable environment • Signal fading / attenuation in reinforced concrete structures • Power & time limitations

  21. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Acknowledgements The LOCCATEC project has been partly financed by the European Commission under the IST scheme; it started on September 2001 and has concluded on June 2005. The LOCCATEC system was tested through: - A scale model at the Earthquake Technology Lab of the National Technical University of Athens - A full scale test in Italy The partners who collaborated and invested to develop the LOCCATEC prototype system are: • IES Solutions, Italy • Joint Research Centre, European Commission • Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique, France • Industrial Systems Institute, Greece • ZENON s.a., Greece • Earthquake Planning & Protection Organization, Greece • Università della Calabria, Italy

  22. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center ASPIS - scope • Scalable, highly modular, unattended surveillance/alarm system for public spaces for a wide range of applications: • Anticipated threats to public safety: security incidents, accidental events, natural hazards • Monitored spaces: buildings, trains, buses and other public transport • Concept developed, validated and demonstrated through the implementation of a complete prototype system aimed to the public transport (specifically to train or metro) in the event of an explosion, accidental or intentional.

  23. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center ASPIS – monitoring phase Devices 01, 02 and 03 are ready to be triggered; no information is retained or transmitted anywhere

  24. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center ASPIS – alarm phase Device 03 is triggered by an explosion; the triggering is propagated to devices 01 and 02 while an alarm is sent to the central station via one or more repeaters; the cyclic buffer of all 3 devices is frozen so that the last XX pictures are kept in memory

  25. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center ASPIS – communication phase Each triggered device tries to upload its captured data to the central station either directly or indirectly, through repeaters or through neighbouring devices in an ad-hoc network configuration

  27. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Conclusions Autonomous, embedded sensor-based agents that react to changes of their environment and collect useful information only when required and, subsequently, dispatch their alarm / information where necessary is a valid alternative / complement to the classical, centralized, in-situ surveillance. Recent developments in consumer electronics have resulted in components, protocols & standards narrowing the prototype-to-product gap considerably. Devices and systems like those presented can be realized almost entirely by existing chipsets and, inversely, manufacturers are willing to invest at such devices because of their affinity to the consumer market.

  28. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center Acknowledgements The ASPIS project has been partly financed by the European Commission under the SST scheme; it started on June 2008 and will be concluded on May 2011. The system will be tested on a real metro train, at the end of 2010, at one station of the Paris Metro. The partners who collaborated and invested to develop the LOCCATEC prototype system are: • THALES Security Systems, France • European Commission - Joint Research Centre • Hellenic Aerospace Industry, Greece • Research Academic Computer Technology Institute, Greece • ITTI Sp. Z o.o., Poland • Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, France • ANEK Lines, Greece • Industrial Systems Institute, Greece

  29. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center DROMON • - Funded in the framework of the Regional Innovation Pole of Western Greece • Safety and security applications associated with the transport and logistics sectors • Embedded device and central system • The embedded device may be installed in a truck or container and can generate alarms in the advent of unauthorized openings or of adverse conditions (temperature, humidity) in their interior, such that the transported goods may be damaged • The embedded device then sends this alarm utilizing either 3G or WiFi technologies (the latter when the truck is covered by a WiFi hot-spot). The alarm may be sent either to the transport company or in the case of security alarms to the responsible authority (e.g. a port authority). The central system acts as an alarm aggregator.

  32. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center DROMON The DROMON concept was tested at the end of 2008 at the port of Patras with the collaboration of the Patras Port Authority and two private companies, active in transportation of goods and tractoring services respectively.

  33. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center DIFIS • Study, design and validation of a reference method for the prompt and cost-effective intervention on ship wrecks • Can deal with oil leaking from wrecks even at very large water depths • General applicability as long as the trapped pollutant does not dissolve and is of lower density than sea water • Light and quickly deployable flexible structure that should stay in place until all the tanks of the wreck are emptied and the pollution threat is eliminated • Fuel leaking from the wreck is captured in the dome and flows up towards the surface through the riser tube. The fuel-water mixture is collected in the buffer bell, which is located 30-50 m below the sea surface, where it is not affected by rough weather.

  34. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.)ATHENA Research Center DIFIS • Apart of an innovative system, the project methodology could be viewed as a good practice for a risk management system and contingency plan associated with sea pollution • - A demonstration of the system, schematically shown below, is not easily feasible, since its cost would exceed the amount of 10.000.000 euros. However, participation at a major pilot demonstration is sought through collaboration with US authorities.
