New research project on tunnel safety: CHEMATUN
DCNA is part of another KIRAS research project: CHEMATUN deals with the release of chemical substances in tunnels – a previously little-researched scenario in the field of emergency response.
New project: PostDisaster
We are pleased to present a new project: The "PostDisaster" project focuses on mixed reality post-disaster damage assessment tools for action planning. The project uses artificial intelligence, satellite images, drones, and mixed reality (MR) to optimise disaster management.
