Air traffic information aggregation using satellite and remote sensor data with interactive planning capabilities using crowdsourcing

The increasing frequency of natural disasters and climate change events presents significant challenges for emergency response operations. Area monitoring for civil protection purposes is critical to safeguard resources, track and survey assets, and optimize decision-making. Coordination of resources is crucial in crisis situations where timely and accurate information is essential. Aviation traffic plays a key role in civil protection missions such as firefighting or search and rescue operations. Monitoring aviation and satellite data is of major importance and is one of the primary goals of this research. Real-time monitoring and alerting can be extremely useful to local authorities, NGOs, and the general public. In this paper, we introduce an online visualization tool that uses data aggregation/fusion to provide command capabilities and informative visualizations along with great functionality for real-time command and control operations. This system could be particularly beneficial for multiple stakeholders, including municipalities and the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.
