This applied project targets a decision support tool for flood and storm water management in the area of Cologne, Germany. The goal is a software prototype that can be used by the application partners in two ways: First, it will be possible to test various measures to mitigate the effects of floods on specific areas and infrastructure. Second, the system can generate comprehensible visualizations to help users convey the effects of measures to the general public. An advanced 2D flood simulator will be coupled with a basic sewer network simulator to serve as the basis for the decision making process. On top of this, we will develop intuitive interactions and visualizations to simplify the creation of alternative scenarios. It will be possible to compare alternative options in order to choose the right protection measures for the situation at hand.

For many years we have been dealing with all aspects of hydrodynamic modelling. With our software viscloud we can model different scenarios and also offer this as a service.
We create a digital twin of a community and simulate weather events to identify high-risk buildings and infrastructure vulnerabilities.
viscloud's hydrodynamic simulations provide precise water level predictions at any point on a water surface in the "PegelAlarm" app.
The HORA 3 project focuses on flood modelling for all rivers and streams in Austria. The results are detailed flood risk maps for different annual periods.
