Smart UNattended airborne sensor Network for detection of vessels used for cross border crime and irregular entrY (SUNNY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The SUNNY project aims to contribute to EUROSUR by defining a new tool for collecting real-time information in operational scenarios.SUNNY represents a step beyond existing research projects due to the following main features:•A two-tier intelligent heterogeneous UAV sensor network will be considered in order to provide both large field and focused surveillance capabilities, where the first-tier ...

Model-based Cooperative and Adaptive Ship-based Context Aware Design (CASCADe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The development of ship bridge systems is characterized by being non-harmonious and far from guaranteed to be of optimal design for the actual users of them. Existing regulations for system and procedure design are disconnected and defined on a level which is not informative for bridge design. Research has shown clearly, that in many cases, accidents and incidents were caused by human error due to ...

Cognitive Rehabilitation of Apraxia and Action Disorganisation Syndrome (CogWatch)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Neurological patients due to stroke may suffer from disrupted action due to cognitive deficits which prevent them from maintaining independent lives. CogWatch will focus on neurological patients with symptoms of Apraxia and Action Disorganisation Syndrome (AADS) who, while maintaining their motor capabilities, commit cognitive errors during every-day goal-oriented tasks which premorbidly they used ...

(Generating simulations to Enable Testing of Alternative routes to improve WAYinding in evacuation of over-ground and underground terminals) (GETAWAY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Efficient evacuation from transport terminals is usually constrained by a lack of detailed knowledge of the geometry. In most cases, the population attempts to evacuate via the way they entered, bypassing or ignoring emergency exits. In serious fires, the inability to locate emergency exits can lead to loss of life as in the Kings Cross Underground Station (1988) and Düsseldorf airport (1996) fi ...

Development and proof of new approaches for through-life asset management based on next generation of materials and production technology (ThroughLife)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Within this framework, the main objective of the project is to develop and prove new approaches for through-life asset management for selected technologies and application scenarios.This will be done by considering all life cycle phases of the technologies concerned in view of their cost efficiency, environmental performance and safety. Special emphasis will be given to the identification, elabora ...

Designing Dynamic Distributed Cooperative Human-Machine Systems (D3CoS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Transportation based on cars, aircraft and ships is a key factor for modern human societies. Human operators have historically been in charge of the two main facets of transportation: vehicle control and traffic control. Technological innovations have progressively allowed the introduction of advanced automated assistance systems leading to a complex interplay of humans and automation which has be ...

Surfacing System for Ship Recovery (SuSy)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The propagation of spillages is one of the biggest environmental problems after a ship disaster. Instead of cleaning the dirty areas the SUSY system will avoid the spillages by stabilizing vessels immediately after an accident. The main goal of the project is the development of well known submarine rescue technology into systems usable for merchant ships in emergency situations. The systems for su ...

Search and monitoring of Harmful contaminants, Other pollutants And Leaks in vessels in port using a swarm of robotic fish (SHOAL)

Start date: Mar 2, 2009, End date: Jul 1, 2012,

Description Robotic fish designed to mimic the natural movements of real fish and to monitor the environment SHOAL will develop a shoal of robotic fish to analyse contaminants in water and produce a real-time map of which pollutants are present, in what concentrations and where these are on a 3D m ...

Integrated Flooding Control and Standard for Stability and Crises Management (FLOODSTAND)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"The size of new passenger ships is continuously increasing. Bigger size offers bigger opportunities and economics of scale, but when a bigger ship accommodates more passengers there may be a higher risk, if evacuation is needed. Thus, new approaches have to be used and further developed in order to have the flooding under control if the watertight integrity of the ship is lost. In the worst case ...
