2 - 4 February. Torino, Italy

Gi4DM
Geomatics technologies are able to support management and recovery in the aftermath of manmade and natural disasters. However, disaster management also poses big challenges in all aspects of the geo-information cycle, from data acquisition, processing, management and delivery. For the sixth time, the International Symposium on Geo-information for Disaster Management (Gi4DM) brings together researchers, developers, data providers and users from all over the world to discuss these challenges. During a disaster, situational awareness can mean the difference between life and death. Geomatics (satellite and aerial imageries, GPS and mobile devices, GIS and mapping tools, IT technologies) provides reliable and rapid communication, observation and positioning tools, especially when people is in danger and crucial on-the-ground infrastructures are damaged. Risk assessment, disaster mitigation and prevention also benefit greatly from these maps-based data. Nevertheless, potential users worldwide are still facing questions about the existence, availability, accessibility, quality, costs, and timeliness of maps-based information. Apparently, there is still a widespread need for an information gateway to space-based information for disaster management support. As far as mechanisms are in place already for example providing Earth observation data for disaster management, they are restricted to support only response measures in the immediate aftermath of a disastrous event, not covering pre-disaster activities such as mitigation and early warning, or monitoring of slow-onset disasters The world of disaster management and space-based technologies is complex. Knowledge and expertise are widely dispersed. Institutions and practitioners need support, orientation and advice to access and use available data, information, knowledge and services. Gi4DM aims to be a gateway to geographic information for disaster management communities, where methodologies, tools, functionality, and/or interfaces are fully presented and described focusing to real and reliable applications also trying to bridge the gap between the different phases of the disaster management cycle: Planning, Training, Mitigation, Detection, Alerting, Response, Recovery, and Assessment.

KOREC / Trimble GeoSpatial demonstration days
Customised introductions to Trimble’s GeoSpatial Mobile Data Capture Systems KOREC is delighted to announce that it is now taking bookings for the KOREC / Trimble GeoSpatial Presentation days which will be running between the 1st and the 12th of February. Trimble’s GeoSpatial systems are incredibly flexible, with a variety of hardware and sensor choices available, which is why KOREC is inviting all companies who have an interest in mobile survey, GIS & Asset Management or Pavement Inspection to call and arrange a tailor made demonstration of the system. Vehicle mounted, Trimble’s GeoSpatial systems help you complete video logging, asset management, and mobile survey faster and more productively, accurately, and safely. A scalable solution, these systems offer automatic feature extraction, high accuracy long range lasers and are among the only mobile systems available where development work for both hardware systems integration and post-processing software can be done completely in-house, cutting out the need for any costly third party software developers. Trimble’s GeoSpatial division have over twenty years of experience integrating GNSS and GNSS augmentation systems, inertial, DMI, cameras, laser scanners and other sensors into mobile mapping systems and have over 50 systems installed world-wide. Ken Spratlin, general manager of Trimble’s GeoSpatial division stated,”Trimble Mobile Data Capture Systems allow service providers and infrastructure managers to access data about the roadway environment accurately and efficiently, with increased worker safety. This complements other survey and mapping tools, allowing our customers to become more productive and improve their businesses”.
