OMEK S.A., as a leader of Companies and Institutions is developing a scientifically validated methodology for monitoring, detecting, and predicting geo-environmental risks in linear infrastructure projects, which may occur unpredictably or under the influence of climate change phenomena, using new technologies and multimodal data (satellite data, UAV systems, etc.) and integrating artificial intelligence (AI) models.
The acronym for its commercial name is “DRIVE” (Digital & ARtificially Intelligent ObserVatory of InfastructurEs) and it could serve as a guiding tool for the construction, maintenance, and operation of linear infrastructure projects, offering the optimal techno-economic management planning and, most importantly, the highest possible safety of use.
In the context of enhancing the safety of infrastructure projects, such as highways and railway networks, against natural phenomena like landslides, rockfalls, etc., which are influenced by climate change phenomena, it is proposed to develop a digital monitoring and early warning platform.
This platform aims to prevent hazardous conditions that could have adverse effects on the users of the infrastructure. With the development of the “DRIVE” platform, problematic areas along a project will be identified, and a monitoring system will be established using advanced technologies and methods based on machine learning and artificial intelligence. These will take into account phenomena such as intense rainfall and earthquakes, in order to provide forecasts and alerts to avoid unpleasant consequences. Users of the infrastructure will be able to be informed about the monitored areas and, more importantly, will actively participate as part of the platform, given the opportunity to report incidents they might detect while using the infrastructure.
Finally, the platform will serve as a crucial tool for the maintenance of infrastructure projects, offering involved stakeholders and construction companies the ability for immediate intervention before failures and adverse phenomena occur.
In this way, each user will be assured that they are using an infrastructure project that is safe, well- maintained, and equipped with risk prediction capabilities, even in the event of unpredictable and extreme phenomena.
Elevate the safety and reliability of roads, railways, and other critical infrastructure with the revolutionary DRIVE platform—a cutting-edge solution designed to predict, prevent, and protect against climate-induced hazards like landslides, rockfalls, and more. Leveraging advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence, DRIVE continuously analyzes factors such as intense rainfall and earthquakes, delivering real-time forecasts and alerts that enable proactive interventions and keep every journey safe.
But DRIVE isn’t just for monitoring—it’s a platform that empowers everyone. By offering users the ability to report incidents directly, DRIVE creates a collaborative safety net, enhancing responsiveness and ensuring swift maintenance when it matters most. Construction companies and stakeholders also gain an essential tool for preemptive action, dramatically reducing the risk of costly repairs or dangerous failures.
Discover how DRIVE can transform your infrastructure into a smarter, safer, and more sustainable asset—partner with OMEK and move confidently into the future.
