URL Short description Target Audience Roles Use case(s) ATHENA http://www.projectathena.eu/
Athena is a system that harnesses social media and high-tech mobile devices to crowd-source information during a crisis. It combines this information with the domain knowledge of the emergency services and novel analytical techniques to provide the public and first responders actionable intelligence and map-based visualisations to help safeguard and rescue citizens caught up in crisis situations. Information from the ‘crowd’ is processed, enhanced and retuned back to the crowd – ‘collective intelligence’ that can transform disorganised individuals into organised pre-first responders.
Target Audience first responders, citizens Role

One of the main objectives for the Policy Platform is to provide a capability to create so called “One Page Policies (OPP)” being an executive summary of the emerging evidence-based urban security policies. Such OPPs can together with attached more detailed evidences be used as a proposals for hanges for high-level authorities with a possibility to have an insight to the whole policy development process whenever needed.

The purpose of D4.3 is to provide a prototype of an Early Warning System that provides an overview of the security situation in an urban area, and that supports the monitoring of various factors characterising urban zones. The system can provide alerts of certain factors change, so that policy makers can carry out timely
countermeasures against undesirable scenarios.

Prototype web-based application of Personal Vulnerability Index for pilot counties in North Carolina is currently under development. The PI has completed the PVI module for IHRM Loss Estimation project in Raleigh North Carolina. The intended users are general public and local and state stake holders. The user will enter information on household characteristics, housing type and disaster strength and estimate uncovered structure losses both in terms of dollars and lossrates.

RAW Risk Assessment Workbench
http://create.usc.edu/sites/default/files/projects/sow/850/hall2005- riskanalysisworkbenchpart1.pdf
The Risk Analyst Workbench (RAW) is a software tool that provides modeling and analysis capabilities for the risk analysis and decision analysis steps of CTMS (CREATE Terrorism Modeling System). RAW also provides a mechanism for extracting data from external sources, building libraries of data for internal use and linking models to support other modeling steps. RAW guides the risk analyst through the steps of threat and counter-measure characterization,
probability estimation, outcome definition, and scenario creation. It also provides tools for rating outcomes of threats, effectiveness of counter-measures, and prioritizing investments.

MobEyes
http://lia.deis.unibo.it/Research/Mobeyes/
MobEyes exploits wireless-enabled vehicles equipped with video cameras and a variety of sensors to perform event sensing, processing/filtering of sensed data, and ad hoc message routing to other vehicles. Since the sheer amount of data will be generated from those sensors, directly reporting raw data to the authority is infeasible. Thus, MobEyes proposes that: sensed data stay with monitoring mobile nodes (i.e., mobile storage); vehicle-local processing capabilities are used to extract features of interest, e.g., license plates from traffic monitoring images; mobile nodes periodically generate data summaries with extracted features and context information such as timestamps and positioning
coordinates; mobile agents, such as police patrolling cars, move and opportunistically harvest summaries from neighbor vehicles. The harvesting agents are interested in the following data: where was a certain vehicle at a certain time; which vehicles were at a given time in a given place, and: what data/video did the vehicle(s) collect? To access the data later, one needs to get to the actual vehicles (based on summary reports) and pump out the data.
Target Audience: urban monitoring Role Information Use cases Safety/Security, Mobility
