situational awareness-1

A reliable 360° view of the situation

In today's constantly changing landscape, events such as pandemics, extreme weather, civil disorder, or supply chain disruption can seriously impact people and infrastructures, overseen by private enterprises and governmental bodies, including municipalities and inter-municipal organizations.

Anticipating and responding efficiently to critical events through located alerts and timely omnichannel communications is key. Our situational awareness instruments provide crisis managers with a digital twin of the in-situ field situation, in real-time and at scale to guide field operations and generate rapid decisions.

Compliance matters

Data confidentiality is a non-negotiable factor, whether addressing collaborators or citizens. That's why data privacy regulations, including GDPR, are integral to our approach as a European company. Privacy by design has been at the heart of our approach since day one.

AI & advanced analytics

By relying on advanced location-based technologies, fast data capabilities, and AI algorithms, our platform consolidates key metrics enabling real-time insights into on-ground activities for local authorities, mission-critical sites, and critical infrastructures.

Heatmaps & automation

Through advanced algorithms, Intersec instantly computes and displays real-time population heatmaps to significantly enhance dynamic situational awareness, and triggers automated actions in line with each scenario ensuring swift and effective responses.

Tactical management of a crisis

Real-time population heatmaps

more

As the situation evolves, get tactical crisis management insights by visualizing live population heatmaps of the targeted area.

By consolidating various static and dynamic layers of information, the end-users benefit from a rich cartographic vision of the terrain and the situation. With its embedded GIS capabilities, the solution smoothly integrates with external geodata sources and providers via typical standards from OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) and IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

Field information, such as the alert location and the number of people receiving the message, is indicated in real-time, and, as the crisis evolves, changes in population density are displayed as colored-coded mapped zones.

Live data layering

more

Intersec goes deeper into the data provided to you. On the map, one has the possibility to add layers of constantly updated information flows to enrich the already existing data of Points of Interests (POI) (Ambassies, police & fire stations).

This unified view and flexibility helps to mitigate damage and downtime by ensuring normal operations can be restored as quickly as possible.

Alert monitoring functions

more

Monitor threats around your stakeholders and facilities.

Make more adaptive and dynamic decisions throughout the management of critical events, and quickly protect or restore operations and infrastructures, mitigate brand and financial impacts, and most of all, help ensure employee safety.

Authorized collaborators can create alerts, define alert zones and select the preferred communication channels in a few clicks. The map page offers direct access to a toolbar for creating zones and manipulating sectors. Several tools are available to add sectors of various shapes, edit them afterward, or carry out merger or subtraction operations.

Contextual multichannel messages

more

Efficient alerting is critical. Because there are always unforeseen situations despite the best preparation in the world,  having a graphical user interface allows to initiate an alert from scratch and to broadcast it rapidly in just a few clicks to a targeted area. Through behavioral targeting, our technology enables the sending of personalized messages to highly-segmented groups of stakeholders.

Whether you are a public entity or a private critical infrastructure, leverage the potential of electronic and digital communications networks: inform people through Location-Based SMS and other traditional and digital channels, allowing you to stay ahead of the crisis management curve.

Adapt the communication channel to the people concerned: SMS, voice calls, email, website, etc. and send an alert within a defined area.

Alert managers get directly a live vision of the effectiveness and the performance of the broadcasting of their alerts through the various communication channel enabled.

Geolocated retargeting

more

Through the solution's behavioral targeting and retargeting capabilities, people who remain, enter, leave, or re-enter the targeted area can subsequently be notified by updated alerts to stay informed. Moreover, stakeholders who have decided to opt-in to notifications can stay informed of alerts in their chosen areas.

Our robust technology makes it possible to communicate throughout an incident's planning, alerting, follow-up, and recovery stages. It provides an opportunity to communicate with all parties involved, including those who can assist, those who need to know, and, most crucially, those who will be affected.

This type of alert is possible via the SMS communication channel, following an initial SMS communication, geolocated or not. 

This feature enables recipients of a previous alert message to be contacted, to provide them with new information that complements or follows-up on the previous message, even if they are no longer in the information area.

Client success story

Context

Epidemic clusters had become a challenge for disease control, becoming a serious burden for hospitals. The challenge was to get stakeholders involved as quickly as possible and be able to communicate in real-time regarding the incident thanks to situational awareness via density maps and other means.

To be the most effective in preventing further spread, the data has to be low-latency, real-time data, which shows how these anonymous mobile phones are moving, and to immediately and proactively determine the location hubs of increasing population density.

Solution

Mobility data-based tools allow authorities to automatically determine where large gatherings were forming via the geographic density of the mobile phone locations. The Intersec fast data capabilities overcame all technical challenges around the anonymous tracking and tracing at scale:

  • Performing event stream processing on 500,000 anonymous location events every second for over 30 million mobile phones
  • Visualization, in real-time of subscribers from a local to a national scale, with heatmaps/choropleths
  • Making a dataset of 2 petabytes of reference data and historical data available for further analysis and investigation with ultra-low latency, on the order of milliseconds​
  • Scoring: a rating scale to identify the at-risk populations ​
  • Prediction: insights utilized to predict scenarios, decide where to send medical staff, identify people likely to get sick, and streamline medical operations​

Context

In the heat of August, with temperatures over 40°C, and following a breakdown in the ventilation system, a fire broke out in a factory. The industrial site produces various chemical products for the fine perfumery, detergent and lubrication markets. Rapidly, the fire became uncontrollable. Toxic chemicals began to escape. A regional crisis unit was set up and the Prefect launched a crisis management operation. ​

Solution

On a national level, a location-based SMS was immediately triggered by the Prefecture in surrounding regions to all citizens exposed to the risk using FR-Alert.​ On a local level, the mayors of the affected cities decided to refine the instructions for the inhabitants closer to the plant and sent 3 messages using Trela: ​

  1. The 1st one targeting the people living less than 5 km away instructing strict confinement, ​
  2. The 2nd one to a buffer zone to ask them not to go near the plant, ​
  3. The 3rd one to a predefined group of parents to ask them not to approach the schools until the end of the alert​

Trela then replicated the messages on the cities’ social networks and transmitted through voice calls the messages to people who did not have a cell phone, mostly elderly people.​
