Measurements collected by monitoring systems represent an information asset that goes beyond their primary use. Data enables real-time decision-making as well as the generation of historical series. Moreover, it forms the knowledge base through which, using Machine Learning techniques, data quality can be verified, and predictive maintenance programs can be implemented…

The Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security is strengthening environmental risk monitoring through the implementation of the Integrated Monitoring and Forecasting System (SIM). In addition to new software and IT infrastructures, the project includes the modernization and enhancement of environmental monitoring networks across the country. More than €210 million has been invested in weather radar systems, real-time hydrometeorological monitoring networks, landslide monitoring, seismic monitoring, wildfire detection, and other strategic infrastructures throughout Italy…

The activities involving CAE concern a total of 4,300 sites, including both new installations and upgrades. This major challenge, developed within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), aims to strengthen forecasting capabilities, also considering the impacts of climate change. Each installed component is fully interoperable with existing networks, according to the characteristics and requirements defined by the individual entities involved…

Among the infrastructures included in the implementation of the Integrated Monitoring and Forecasting System (SIM) is the in situ landslide monitoring network, a strategic component for the prevention of hydrogeological instability. In a country with more than 621,000 mapped landslides affecting approximately 24,700 km², 135 priority sites have been identified…

From CAE research comes a revolutionary solution to increase the reliability of radio networks in the event of malfunctions. Dynamic Adaptive Routing (RAD) is a feature that enhances IP radio network infrastructures, already designed to operate with “multiple paths”, making them “self-learning”. Message routing builds the path that, at that moment, provides the highest reliability. CAE today offers this service thanks to a patent-pending system. The enhancement can be applied to all networks using RAEVO radio systems…

With this new contract, CAE will complete the technological modernization process of the network started in 2022, installing 178 new PG10 rain gauges and upgrading the remaining 142 stations with new Compact dataloggers. A fully integrated and consistent system will be delivered, while preserving the full operational continuity required for civil protection applications…

For the next 5 years, CAE will continue to manage the maintenance service of the regional hydrometeorological network, a strategic infrastructure for forecasting, monitoring, and alerting functions of the Regional Functional Centre at Arpa Piedmont in Turin. The network includes 372 stations, 45 repeaters, and 2 centers, with 69 sites accessible exclusively by helicopter…

The network managed by ARPAE consists of more than 350 monitoring stations. To ensure a high-quality service delivering reliability, robustness, and continuity of operation across the entire system, CAE will rely on tools leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for a variety of applications, including…

As part of the interventions aimed at flood attenuation of the Muson stream and the Lastego tributary, four new hydrometric stations have been installed, complete with staff gauges and webcams for visual monitoring. These tools support decision-making in the management of hydraulic infrastructure and the operation of sluice gates. As part of the supply and installation of the equipment, topographic and bathymetric surveys were carried out, along with the establishment of planimetric and altimetric benchmarks, and the survey of cross-sections of riverbeds and existing structures such as bridges and hydraulic works…

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are increasingly permeating everyday life, but what impact can these new processing techniques have on risk mitigation? We launch a new magazine column that, in each upcoming issue, will present the advantages these techniques can bring to monitoring system managers. The impact is not limited to greater data availability or improved data quality…
