The FAST project aims to develop a new GMES/Copernicus downstream service to gain spatial information on foreshore and floodplain characteristics from Sentinel data. This will support the development of the MI-SAFE software tool and associated services. The tool will assess flood risk reduction based on foreshore characteristics and modeling scenarios. It will be developed within the OpenEarth framework using open source standards and tools. The workshop will provide an update on the FAST data management toolbox, EO data analysis methods, modeling wave attenuation, and requirements for linking models to EO data to gather feedback on improving the usability of the MI-SAFE tool.

Overview: objectives
The main objective of the FAST project is:
“To develop a new GMES/Copernicus downstream service by
developing products based on Sentinel data to gain spatial
information on foreshore and floodplain characteristics, such as
morphology, sediment characteristics and vegetation properties”
The main product we foresee is the MI-SAFE software tool,
supported by services based on SLA’s. Additional products will be
papers, protocols, community.
Project start 01-01-2014, Now producing first releases of product

Tool development
Development of tools is done within the OpenEarth Framework,
this means that there is:
• The OpenEarth community http://openearth.eu
• The Deltares Open Source Community http://oss.deltares.nl/
• Discussions at the Delft Software Days http://www.dsd-int.nl/

How we get to the tool and the
services 1
Open Source Data Management process
• organize data from different data sources in an open and
transparent manner complying with EU directives and data
standards to facilitate post-processing and tool development
• Method: Use of OpenEarth
Data Stack with INSPIRE
standards

Evaluation
We are almost halfway the FAST project. You now know about the
first release of our product. We would like to discuss with you about:
– Approach that we take (methods, software)
• Data management (data portal – data lab integration)
• EO- information conversion
• Data - model integration
• Outputs – webviewer integration
– EO, global datasets that we use
– Opportunities that you see in improving useability of the tool
