Fraunhofer Big Data and ArtificialEarly detection of dangerous situations, crises and disasters not only enables timely intervention, but also preventive action. The decision-making basis for this is as complete and up-to-date a picture of the situation as possible and forecasts of further developments.
Our AI technologies link diverse and massive data streams from sensors, cameras, weather stations and mobile networks for this purpose. Even data from social media and information from people on the ground are incorporated. This makes it possible to better understand a complex situation, monitor changes in a timely manner, and detect unusual events. On this basis, the numerous actors involved in crisis management have the opportunity to better assess alternative courses of action. In our intelligent solutions for crisis detection and crisis management, we pay particular attention to heterogeneity in the subjectively perceived as well as objectively available information quality. We give special consideration to data protection and legal framework conditions.
