This short video demonstrates how Vantiq can be used to build a real-time disaster response monitoring application that ingests streaming data from a wide range of sensors to detect, track and respond to disaster scenarios as they unfold.
The demo takes place at Disaster City, a simulated disaster environment near the Texas A&M campus designed to replicate real-world emergency scenarios including earthquakes, floods, explosions and train collisions. The entire application was built and running on the Vantiq platform in just a couple of days.
In this scenario, the system monitors dozens of sensors across the area including cameras, vibration sensors, flood detectors, weather stations and human wearables. It also integrates with a military-grade TAK server to track the real-time positions of personnel in the field and send them updates directly. When sensors detect an event, alerts are surfaced immediately on the dashboard and sent via mobile, SMS, email or third party response systems.
By watching this demo, you will see how multiple sensor types can be unified into a single real-time operational dashboard, how alerts are triggered and communicated the moment a situation is detected, how wind direction and speed data is used to predict smoke movement from a fire, and how the system monitors the health of the sensors themselves, flagging low battery warnings or devices that have dropped off the network.
The result is a unified, real-time picture of an evolving disaster situation that gives response teams the information they need to act fast and coordinate effectively.
