The purpose of the PROION project is the development of a platform for the continuous monitoring of high-priority infrastructures (public infrastructure, dams, bridges, etc.) which are located in a particularly active area in terms of tectonics and seismicity. Monitoring the aforementioned infrastructures is based on the combination of in-situ and remote sensing measurements, fuzzy logic network methods, and machine learning algorithms to generate an innovative decision-making and decision-support tool. More specifically, the measurements deriving from three-axis accelerometers, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and Persistent Scatterer Interferometry are imported into the platform. The measurements will be validated using high-accuracy reference representations arising from data acquired by Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) surveys and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) campaigns and subsequently, deformation maps will be generated. Intelligent data analysis methods will contribute to making decisions on the current as well as the future state of the infrastructure.

Geosystems Hellas [GSH] is responsible for developing and commercializing the results arising from the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry. Radar corner reflectorsfor interferometric processing with thermal expansion/contraction control are installed in specific areas of interest within the “Enceladus” supersite. The (trihedral) radar corner reflector is made of aluminum and consists of three flat surfaces that reflect waves directly toward the source, receiving InSAR data from the different satellite SAR missions. The targeted methodology aims at change detection monitoring of critical infrastructure and the development of a Web-GIS platform. GSH contributes to the generation of a modern decision-making tool that will systemically provide information before a disaster.

The project has received funding from the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE, with project code: T2EDK-02396.
