Where was the demonstration implemented?

The second demonstration and training activities of SAFERS were performed on February 9th, 2023 in Piedmont in Italy to evaluate the beta version of the project’s dashboard and Intelligent Services (ISs) in a controlled environment. Along with the first demo in France, the event allows for gathering information on the reliability and usefulness of the proposed service in simulated in-field scenarios. The event involved technical entities, first responders, local authorities, and citizens. 

Where was the demonstration implemented?

To test and evaluate SAEFRS platform and Intelligent Services (IS) that were released in a beta version, the first demonstration and training activities were performed on October 19th, 2022, in Corsica (France), and more precisely, at the premises of the Fire and Rescue Service of Haute-Corse (SIS2B) that organized the event.

The SAFERS “Smoke and fire detection systems” intelligent service - i.e. the SmoCAM - is based on artificial intelligence that analyses images and detects the presence of smoke and fire developed by WaterView. It provides a video analytics solution that works in the visible spectrum and exploits common surveillance cameras to early detect smoke plumes in outdoor, thus reinforcing prevention activities even when thermal cameras fail.
