HYDROSYS: advanced spatial analysis tools for onsiteenvironmental monitoring and management(HYDROSYS)Background and ObjectivesFunded under 7th FWP (Seventh Framework Programme)Research area: ICT-2007.6.3 ICT for environmental management and energy efficiencywww.hydrosysonline.euHYDROSYS aims at providing a system infrastructure to support teams of users in on-site monitoring eventsanalysing natural resources. The project introduces the innovative concept of event-driven campaigns withhandheld devices, potentially supported by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In these campaigns, users cansetup and retrieve data from mobile sensorstations, the UAV and external sources (sensor network) generatingdense information on a small area. The sensor network system gathers and stores sensor data, and processessimulations based on physical process models. To obtain rich data sets from a specific location, additionally,remotely controlled cameras are deployed, mounted on sensorstations and below the UAV. Users can analyse theenvironment using cell phones and handheld computers, supported by advanced user interface techniques. Thesystem is validated in two application areas, dealing with pollution caused by storm water, and permafrostmelting.The project will improve environmental monitoring and management for environmental scientists, institutions andservice providers, through its strong integration of handhelds and sensor networks. The project will progress wellbeyond the current state in the art, by dealing with short-term events and detailed analysis of small sites. Theanalysis of such events is hardly supported by current methods, but has a large impact on environmentaldegradation. Additionally, information is dispersed to citizens by providing mechanisms to access top-levelenvironmental data.Within the project, cutting edge inter-disciplinary research will be performed to develop user-centred solutions.When the data is integrated with analytical tools in a shared information space it will also aid a wide range ofmanagers and planners in the pursue of more environmentally sensitive solutions to engineering problems. To aidthe process, the research is steered by considerable end-user involvement throughout the full project.Project detailsProject Acronym: HYDROSYS327
