Integrated Environment System (IES): using environmental sensing systems and data analytics for real-time environmental information
Using environmental sensing systems and data analytics for real-time environmental information
Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA)'s Integrated Environment System (IES) is an integrated platform that enables the centralised collection of various environmental and weather data for processing, analysis, visualization and distribution. It aims to harness environmental sensing systems coupled with data analytics and modelling to provide real-time environmental information and thus improve predictive capabilities in order to provide early warning, pre-emptive and sensing capabilities in support of field operations for NEA officers (e.g., preventive measures can be put in place prior to the arrival of the trans-boundary haze).
Project Objective:
Other
Project Outcomes:
To provide NEA's officers with real-time environmental situational awareness via customisable dashboards. Video, business analytics and predictive models will provide guidance and information for officers both on the ground and in the office to take pre-emptive or corrective actions on a real-time basis.
