HUPI – INGURU PREDICT Evaluation and prediction of the impact of port activities on environmental indicators (turbidity, chlorophyll, hydrocarbons) based on satellite images.
HUPI
Sector: Mobility
Business Case
How can we assess the impact of port activities on the marine ecosystem dynamically and in real time, in order to reduce marine pollution, taking into account “uncontrolled” parameters (external events)?
Objectives
Dynamic measurement of environmental indicators (turbidity, chlorophyll, hydrocarbons) by means of satellite images Impact assessment of port activities on the environmental ecosystem Prediction of the levels of these indicators, considering uncontrolled environmental factors Optimisation of port activities to minimise environmental impact
Use case
Inguru-PREDICT offers a comprehensive solution for biodiversity management in ports, enabling informed and proactive decision-making to minimise the environmental impact of port operations, by assessing and predicting in real time the impact of port activity (“controlled” parameters) AND external events, such as weather (“uncontrolled” parameters), on specific environmental indicators (turbidity, chlorophyll and hydrocarbons) by leveraging satellite imagery and Artificial Intelligence engines.
Infrastructure
Cloud
Technology
Automatic or Deep Learning Image recognition/processing
Data
Satellite images History of port activities Open data: climate, uncontrolled parameters
Resources
Hupi: Human resources: 1 technical director, 2 Mathematicians & Data Scientists, 1 Full Stack developer Technological resources: Access to satellite imagery + Hupi Elastic Cloud Platform Port team (port activities expert) + environmental team
Difficulties and learning
Access to satellite imagery history and processing Impact assessment of port activities with environmental indicators
KPIs (business impact and metrics of the model)
Improved operational efficiency: more accurate planning of port operations Reduced costs in measuring the level of environmental indicators Restoration and rehabilitation of marine ecosystems = reduction of marine pollution
