Modelling software Heat stress

Geonovum Foundation

This is used for climate stress tests and provides insight into wind chill, and how it can be influenced. This is determined from different elements such as foliage, shade and wind, which can be analysed separately. As a result, the module also provides tools for wind, shade and sun angle analyses.

Goal and impact

The Heat Stress module provides insight into the wind chill factor (PET), wind and shading at different times of the day. The Heat Module runs on a broader platform for data integration and simulations that allows the living environment to be computed integrally at hyper-resolution for aspects such as flooding, heat stress, air quality and noise. The Heat Module was built according to the guidelines of the Delta Plan for Spatial Adaptation (DPRA). It is a physical model, the approach does not rely on artificial intelligence.

Considerations

We apply the algorithm as part of a PoC for a study on the standard for transparent decision-making https://geonovum.github.io/logboek-dataverwerkingen-voor-objecten/

Legal basis

This Algorithm is now in a "proof of concept" application, but when taken into production at a municipality or province could be used, for example, for:


* Environment Act: licensing, planning

* AWB (general administrative law act): Monitoring dangerous situations where competent authority takes care of General Principles of Good Governance

- Carefulness

- Transparency

- Proportionate consideration

Operations

Data

By default, open data sources are used to build the virtual 3D environment in which calculations are performed(see reference data sources). It is not always the case that all data sources are used in all calculations, this also depends on the chosen location and type of calculations. Users can also add their own data to the algorithm, e.g. green data. Self-added data are not in this overview.

  • Winter Control

    Province of Groningen

    Winter Control is a system used for ice control. The system is linked to both measuring points on the road network and gritting vehicles. It collects data on road conditions, gritting actions and any equipment or machine malfunctions. It also provides insight into salt stocks.

  • Gladness reporting system

    Province of Limburg

    The algorithm uses sensor data to make a calculation for predictions of slipperiness risks. These predictions are used to determine where to grit (preventively), in consultation with meteorologists. In addition, the algorithm can issue various alarms, for example when there is a chance of wet road sections freezing.
