floodvisor ii

Practical flood management with decision software viscloud, which simulates and visualizes flood and heavy rain events.

Visualization of a dike breach ensemble with viscloud.
Visualization of a dike breach ensemble.
A flooding scenario in the city of Cologne: buildings marked in red are particularly at risk, buildings marked in yellow are less at risk.
A flooding scenario in the city of Cologne: the buildings marked in red are particularly at risk, buildings marked in yellow are less at risk.
Visualization of the arrival time of a wave that floods an area due to a dike breach. Red represents the fast spreading and particularly endangered areas, green less endangered areas.
Failure of protective measures: developing dike breaches and the arrival time of a flood wave.
Visualization of an urban area that is protected from flooding by mobile walls, but this protective measure fails because the flood waters overflow the mobile protective walls.
Failure of protective measures: the flood breaks through and overflows mobile protective walls of an urban area.
Visualization of an urban area affected by flooding; a hospital can be protected from the water by placing sandbags as a short-term protective measure.
Development and design of short-term protection measures in a flooding scenario: sandbags that are used to protect a hospital.

Testing various measures to mitigate the effects of floods on specific areas and infrastructure and generating comprehensible visualizations to help users convey the effects of measures to the general public.

The newest application case in Austria is the project in the Marchfeld in particular - here dam breaks on the Danube are simulated for the region. On this basis protection measures shall be determined and protection plans for the affected communities will be drawn up. Another application case in Austria is one for slope water modeling and visualization in Amstetten. Furthermore the simulation of heavy rain events and the consideration of the sewer network gets more attention. A scalable viscloud web service is set up for project partners.
