WP 6: Evaluation and Assesment

 

Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the system functionality and performance based on technical criteria.
  2. Evaluate the system based on the demonstration relative to the user requirement specification and user response during the demonstration phase.
  3. Evaluate possible system limitations given by natural conditions.
  4. Evaluate the system's functionality relative to other emergency types.

Description:

This work package was run in parallel with the other work packages in order to ensure that the project's overall objectives as well as the system functionality and performance goals identified during the user requirement investigation were met. During the early stages of the project, evaluation and assessment guidelines were developed. This document describes the procedures followed and the criteria evaluated.

The evaluation procedure run in parallel and interact with:

  • WP 4, System Verification: The system functionality and performance were evaluated based on technical criteria.
  • WP 5, Demonstration: The system was evaluated based on the demonstration and the user response during the demonstration phase.
The system's performance was also evaluated with respect to the natural conditions in Mediterranean Sea. The oil spill detection is based on the ability to detect the phenomenon in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery. The "visibility" of oil depends on the presence of capillary sea waves. The robustness of this approach for operational applications in the Mediterranean was evaluated.

The ENVISYS concept may be extended to other emergency situations, like forest fires, floods, earth quakes and volcanic activity. Technical consequences of an system extension and practical usability were evaluated.

Tasks:

  1. Development of Evaluation and Assessment Guidelines report (IMPETUS/ISDEFE).
  2. Technical evaluation of the system (ISDEFE/INDI/IMPETUS).
  3. Evaluation of system during demonstration (ISDEFE).
  4. Evaluation of system relative to natural conditions (ISDEFE/NR).
  5. Evaluation of system relative to other emergency types (ISDEFE/NR).

Deliverables:

  • D6.1: Evaluation Guidelines - Draft Validation Plan (IMPETUS/ISDEFE).
  • D6.2: Final Validation Plan (IMPETUS/ISDEFE).
  • D6.3: Report of extension to other emergency types (ISDEFE).
  • D6.4: Validation Results (ISDEFE).
