Project funded as part of the Italy/Switzerland Operational Programme for Trans-frontier Cooperation 2007-2013 (INTERREG Italy/Switzerland). Partners of the project, as well as the Fondazione Politecnico, are the Politecnico di Milano Polo Regionale di Lecco (Lecco regional campus), Provincia di Lecco (Lecco Province), Regione Lombardia (Lombardy Region), Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana, Università della Svizzera Italiana. The project aims to build innovative systems and technologies for the distributed acquisition of regional data and the communication of that data to second-generation operating control rooms, the aggregation of the information on a phenomenological basis, and the generation of dynamic integrated risk scenarios in trans-frontier Alpine environments, with particular regard to domino effects (Area Integrated Risk Plan-denominated scenarios).

More specifically, the specific distributed monitoring action - which is based on Wireless Sensor Networks technology (which complements pre-existing sensor stations) - will provide data that will go to make up a dynamic map of the risk associated with a specific area. This will be integrated with a static map of technological risk and network present in the region, in order to provide an Integrated Risk Plan for the Alpine Area. At the same time, the monitoring system will allow the dynamic forecasting of risk around emergency situations, using real-time information coming from the field.
