Project title:
PLOTO - Applying environmentally sustainable and emerging digital predictive modeling to improve the resilience of shipping lanes to climate change and other extremes
Support program:
Horizon Europe
Project duration:
01.09.2022 – 28.02.2026
Role of RSOE:
Project partner
Project description:
The purpose of PLOTO is to create an integrated planning platform that can be applied primarily to inland waterway (IWW) transport infrastructures using existing tools and services as well as emerging ones.
The assumption is that existing solutions, as well as nature-based solutions and other tools and measures, can reduce climate change-related risks and improve inland water resilience, while protecting biodiversity and other environmental parameters.
The purpose of the PLOTO platform is to understand multi-hazard risks, intelligent prevention and preparedness, and faster, adapted and effective response. Our proposed new integrated system to support operational and strategic adaptation and mitigation measures aims to increase the resilience of inland water by better processing the effects of climate change (including extreme events) and more effective recovery from them.
The introduced technical, social and institutional measures are first simulated by our system (digital twin), then installed and demonstrated so that they can be evaluated against the economic and other indicators defined in the project.
WP1: Coordination with international partners, project management, financial management.
WP2: Participation in defining domestic requirements and analysis of existing information systems and future planning.
WP3: Planning the processing of meteorological and other data, coordination with international partners, analysis of own information system
WP4: Contribution from the Hungarian side to the examination and evaluation of the port and related railway infrastructure.
WP5: Analysis of different data sources from a domestic perspective
WP6: Participation in the implementation of a decision support system, adaptation to own domestic systems
WP7: Participation in the implementation of Budapest pilot activities from the information system side
