Intelligent geospatial risk management service for vegetation

The Project TAPIO aims at improving the risk management of encroaching vegetation regarding the supply of electricity to critical national infrastructure. Its objective is to help users answer to four questions: which trees are posing a risk to my infrastructure now? have the trees which posed a risk to my infrastructure been cut correctly? when and where will trees next pose a risk to my infrastructure? do I need to collect LiDAR again to identify infrastructure risk? Main users are critical national infrastructure providers including electricity, railways, highways, water and other sectors. The service uses Earth observation which offers very high spatial resolution imagery of the network apparatus and encroaching vegetation in order to verify the performance of the vegetation growth model. It also uses satellite communication which allows the download of data at any time and even when there is no cellular signal. Finally, it uses position, navigation and timing technologies in order to provide more accurate surveys and more efficient vegetation location and reporting.
