A date for your diary – EXPOSURES Workshop - Wednesday 29th June 2016
The ‘EXPOSURES’* project is currently working to establish a new data value chain that builds on low-cost drones (autonomous underwater vehicles) and advanced data analytics to seamlessly connect surveyors, marine analysts and authorities using the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT).
Initially focusing on seabed monitoring, a field trial of the technology is taking place during April 2016 at the 'SUNRISE' 'IoT' facility in Porto, Portugal. During this, Internet-connected underwater drones will be sending observations to the EXPOSURES platform and subsequently demonstrating how the output data can be used with simulation application platforms (such as Open Telemac) to simulate harbour seabed morphology. Using the EXPOSURES technology to deliver a more efficient process, harbour management stakeholders will be able to make better informed decisions about the actions needed to maintain the safe and effective running of their harbour.
Establishment of the technology will enable it to be used across a broad range of marine applications having significant socio-economic importance. To assist with this, the project partners, IT Innovation (University of Southampton) and Marine South East facilitate the EXPOSURES 'Interest Group'. Through this potential end-users and other interested parties from the marine industry, government agencies and scientific community are able to engage with the project and contribute directly to developments maximising applicability, commercial potential and fostering market creation.
Following completion of the 'EXPOSURES' field trial, a Workshop is being held on Wednesday, 29th June 2016. Hosted by HR Wallingford (http://www.hrwallingford.com ) it will cover the project's progress and consider the way ahead. As part of this, 'Interest Group' members will be invited to participate and use their professional experience to contribute and discuss the aspects they feel are relevant for the development and use of this innovative technology.
Please reserve this date in your diary and when the event program is finalised an invitation will be sent to 'Interest Group' members.
