Presentation from the showcase event on 8th September

2. DIGITAL INNOVATION FUND
The aims of the Digital Innovation Fund:
1. Drive the development, adoption and implementation of digital delivery models.
2. Develop and create exemplar digital public service delivery methods.
3. Publicise and share best practice of successful delivery models to allow other
public sector bodies in Wales to develop a similar model at lower cost.

15. Presenting the problem
Joint project between WG, SWFRS, SWP…
Focus – improving the intelligence in tackling and preventing deliberate (grass)
fires
-Use of resource
-Immediate endangerment of life
-Damage to property (rebuild)
-Environmental pollution (smoke, debris)
-Addresses multiple areas of policy
Mapping and statistical analysis of grassfires
-Tool to help decision making at multiple levels
-Challenge/verify the current beliefs/thinking

16. The scope
(i)Desk based analysis what data may be of relevance, how
to process it, prepare for visualisation.
(ii)Development of visualisation components consistent with
appropriate branding/standards.
(iii)Impact assessments on the release of this data and
relevant assurance policies.
(iv)Transition of ownership (training, documentation,
manuals)

17. Approach:
-We expected things to change.
-Started with an alpha release (showing some startling findings)
-Agile/iterative releases
-Requirements built around stakeholder feedback
NB: Stakeholders don’t always tell you what they need, but they will tell you
when you have gone wrong.
Amended our original plan because…
-Investigations showed that the marketplace has existing solution(s) already
present.
-Our procurement plans went from purchase of product to purchase of service,
training and upskilling (internally within each of our organisations).

18. Where are we now:
Clarified the two use cases:
-For prevention: open data sources – land cover, weather data, areas of
deprivation, locations of interest, social
-For response: additional private viewpoint – criminal activities and “live” incident
data
Built on a suitable data service platform (capable of handling sensitive data):
-Configured routines to combine data from a variety of sources
-Configured the visuals
Delivered the Alpha+ release and proved the technical solution
-Data/assurance sign-off happening next

19. Answered some of our original learning objectives:
(i)Data to be contrasted/combined to the locations of fires to help clarify
trends and inform strategies:
-Clarifying social factors (e.g. WIMD), time factors (e.g. Easter/school time),
Physical (e.g. weather, grassland)
(iii) How to present this data publically and maintain sensitivity?
-Aggregation, obfuscation, conflation, security
(iii) Stimulated ideas for efficient data sharing?
-Ideas for access control and authentication standards
(iv) Who else might be interested?
-Informing other digital work-streams and related work.

21. SENSOR TECHNOLOGY FOR FLOOD PREVENTION

22. FLASH FLOODING
Cardiff has areas which are prone to flash flooding
Gives us very little response time
Current infrastructure can be overwhelmed by sudden weather events
Need a solution to:
Provide real time data about culverts and other water infrastructure
Provide data about localised rainfall

23. Install 3 sensors across the city at £6k
Or
Install a LoRa Wan Network at £5k (Low
Powered Wide Area Network)
Cover the city with 3 stations
