The growing threat of wildfires poses a significant risk to our railway infrastructure. This Railway Technology & Future Rail article underscores the urgent need for robust, resilient systems. Enter Dryad Networks' Silvanet solution: our solar-powered sensors detect wildfires during the critical smoldering phase, often well before flames are visible. With detection speeds within minutes from ignition, our system enables rapid response. Last week, we announced that our next-gen sensors will be equipped with Kinéis' satellite technology, making them perfect for linear deployments like railways and power lines. 🛤️ This innovation will ensure rapid response and minimize damage, safeguarding assets and enhancing operational reliability.

Urbanization x Impermeable surfaces x Climate-related events remind me of #ArcGIS solutions that our municipalities can tap into. Here's one on inspecting green infrastructure for stormwater run-offs. If we can inventory these assets, we can catalogue the status, display them visually on a map, and analyze the effectiveness of the distribution and further need for green infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/exWpDU8f

As urbanization continues to grow across the world so do the impermeable surfaces that make up large parts of cities. With increasing risks related to flash flooding the need for green infrastructure is ever more important along with the need to leverage IoT sensors to help mitigate flooding impacts. When it comes to understanding how to mitigate risks, location matters. https://lnkd.in/eUjcA-w6 #locationintelligence #GIS #waterinfrastructure #climatechange

Fantastic news that Network Rail is to spend £2.8bn to cope with effects of climate crisis. With more than 14 named storms in the past 12 months which led to widespread disruption for passengers across the UK, it's a problem we are all well aware of! This is exactly what our IoT remote condition monitoring solutions were designed for - ensuring the resilience and efficiency of rail systems amidst increasing incidences of extreme weather. 👍 #RailSense #RailSafety #ClimateAction #RailNews

It takes more than technology; it takes teamwork. 🤝 At MERATCH, we're experts in developing IoT sensors that monitor rising river levels, offering timely flood warnings. Collaborating with Meteo.pl as we are a part of the FLOPRES initiative, we're combining our sensor data with terrain models, soil information, weather radar insights, and precise rainfall forecasts. 🚨🛰️ This creates an integrated monitoring system powerful enough to predict floods far before they happen, giving communities the time they need to prepare and protect themselves. Learn about the powerful models that predict the rain and thus enhance our flood warning capabilities, merging foresight with technology. 💧⚙️ https://lnkd.in/dZFyyS4j #CollaborationForSafety #IoTRescue #FloodPrevention #Flopres

Research shows that over 3.6 billion people today live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change. As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the need for innovative solutions to ensure the safety of these people grows. One effective solution is the convergence of PropTech and construction technology (ConTech) to enhance our disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Here’s how: - Predictive analytics can enable better preparation, minimizing potential damage. - IoT sensors provide real-time data crucial for quick decision-making during disasters. - Contech speeds up rebuilding, helping communities recover faster. However, while these technologies have huge potential, it’s important to ensure these life-saving technologies are available to everyone through partnerships and policies. https://lnkd.in/eumQAsgi #DisasterManagement #Proptech #Contech #ClimateResilience #Innovation
