Crucial infrastructure monitoring in the frame of the PROION Project

A research project under the acronym “PROION” is being executed by a consortium of Greek companies and Research Institutes. The project aims to develop an electronic platform for the continuous monitoring of critical national infrastructures in the broader area of the Corinthian Gulf inside the Greek Supersite called Enceladus. Enceladus Supersite is the most active tectonic and seismic area in Europe and includes geographically the urban centers of Athens, Corinth and Patras (> 50% of the country's population), tourist resorts, some of the most important archaeological monuments in the country and some very important infrastructures such as Mornos and Evinos dams, Rion Antirrio Bridge etc. Thus, there is a great need to develop reliable cost-effective system, which integrate remote sensing data, in situ measurements and advanced methods for infrastructure monitoring. Monitoring is based on the combination of instrumental and remote sensing measurements along with soft computing in order to generate an innovative decision-making and decision-support tool.
