e-GEOS to develop an Hydro-Meteo Digital Twin

The Digital Twin will provide selected institutional users with the data and tools they need to create simulation scenarios for different thematic areas, for hydrogeological risk management and air quality monitoring.

Using satellite data, ground monitoring sensors, digital terrain models and artificial intelligence, the project will allow the management of a dynamic, virtual reconstruction of a physical system and evaluate its behaviour in different conditions. The digital platform will be a framework based on mathematical models, data and scenario simulation, to be used as a support tool for decision-making related to the management and prevention of environmental risks.

Cyber Italy, which is part of IRIDE - the European Earth Observation satellite space programme, created in Italy with the resources of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan, under the management of ESA and with the support of the Italian Space Agency – has just entered the second phase of development, which is expected to last twelve months. Together with e-GEOS, the other members of the consortium are the leader Serco Italia, CGI and MEEO.
