INNOLABS Notice – Innovative solutions for problems of social relevance

The objective of this project is to define and develop innovative solutions based on the exploitation of images captured by satellites and unmanned aircrafts’ airborne sensors for the acquisition of information on the territory and the management of the municipality’s competence plans. Such solutions will support both the administration and freelancers that cooperate in the phase of planning and editing of plans and in the phase of verification of their implementation. The project aims at facilitating and enriching the process of creation of the town planning project of the municipality, from the editing of the cognitive framework of the Programmatic Preliminary Document to the following adoption of the PUG and its activation through the PUE. A new optimized, fast and economical editing process will be defined thanks to the enhancement of technological innovation.

Software applications will be developed allowing to manage and provide images acquired by satellite or by drones’ airborne sensors to professionals (engineers, geologists, …) for analysis and elaboration activities. These applications, based on Rethicus (Planetek Italia solution), will also allow to develop the cartographic documentation and to make it available to the Municipality of Bari (this project’s end user) for its territory management activities.

An experimental air navigation services environment (UTM), integrated with a DTA and Leonardo laboratory for aerial simulation, will allow drone operators to design urban set missions and execute formation activities. This for the respect of current air rules and in order to obtain flight authorization for the provision of air services in safety conditions. The project will reach its completion with a demonstration of drone-based services in an urban environment for territory inspection. SAPERE also foresees the constitution of the Drone Living Lab, which is meant to provide the Municipality of Bari with services based on aerospace technologies in the logics of the Smart City.
