Have you ever struggled to store, process and visualize very large amounts of complex sensor data?

April 2, 2020April 2, 2020 by admin

Recently we faced the problem that we needed to give visual access to sensor data collected by a network of chemical sensors of different technologies to a number of partners. We use different sensing technologies and high sampling rates, i.e. complexity and size of the data is somehow high, and things are difficult to handle … Read moreHave you ever struggled to store, process and visualize very large amounts of complex sensor data?

The importance of chemical detection in the context of terrorist threats, part II

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 by admin

Following the ideas established in the previous article about the importance of chemical detection, it is crucial to analyze which actors (state or non-state) are the most dangerous for the European Union states and societies. Chemical agents, both Chemical Warfare Agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals, are still under strict control not only on state levels … Read moreThe importance of chemical detection in the context of terrorist threats, part II

The importance of chemical detection in the context of terrorist threats, part I

February 11, 2020February 11, 2020 by admin

Fast and reliable detection of chemical hazards such as Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) is one of the measures to counter existing threats of terrorist attacks with the use of chemical substances. There is a good deal of information providing valid reasons to believe that effective and state-of-the-art CBRNe detection is … Read moreThe importance of chemical detection in the context of terrorist threats, part I

Dispersion modelling in EU-SENSE

December 1, 2019December 1, 2019 by admin

FOI develops model components in the EU-SENSE system to be able to estimate source parameters in relation to hazardous chemical releases. Data from the sensor measurements are used to estimate both the location of the source as well as the source strength. This estimation is then used to calculate concentration fields and risk areas for … Read moreDispersion modelling in EU-SENSE

EU-SENSE Sensor Node

November 18, 2019October 21, 2019 by admin

The main purpose of the Sensor node development is to provide an adaptable device, which will act as a hub for various types of sensors. The 1st prototype device is based on the STM32F4 microcontroller, which is responsible for the configuration, supervision, and operation of the sensor instruments, as well as performs the function of … Read moreEU-SENSE Sensor Node

The benefits of EU-SENSE data model

November 18, 2019October 7, 2019 by admin

EU-SENSE system, in its design, utilizes a system of systems concept. One of many challenges related to such an approach is a difference in data schemas, formats and models in the components (especially, this is a challenge in third-party devices such as AP4C and MO detectors, where the data format cannot be modified/changed). One of … Read moreThe benefits of EU-SENSE data model
