Study case

The waste disposal on unauthorized places is a crime and the person can receive administrative sanctions and, in some cases, penalties. Illegal waste disposal causes pollution and represents an onerous workload for the municipalities. So far the illegal waste disposal is monitored manually, where the resources watch the videos from video surveillance systems and manually determine the moments of interest.

Sevara proposes an innovative solution in this field with automatic filtering of the scenes of interest through the use of artificial intelligence. With the help of artificial intelligence, it is possible to have in a short time the scenes when people abandon the waste at the street or field.

Sevara.io calculates the daily exposure in order to have the more precise number of people exposed in a given area during a certain event.

The Public Administration, together with Civil Protection and Fire Fighters, in case of intervention, will be able to decide more quickly the activities that should be done as well as resources that can be managed better. Having the information of the number of people exposed in a given area a suitable number of the intervention units can be sent.

The identification of the areas with the fire risk hazard can help at preventing both accidental and malicious fires. Sevara.io applies the algorithm that can calculate the plant life on the ground and, in particular, the values of a dry plant state, indicating the areas that can easily take fire. Regional legislation says that the land manager must take care of it, prevent and mitigate the fire risk hazard increasing.

Sevara.io can indicate the areas at risk to the Public Administrations, the areas with a low vegetation vigor index and where there is a greater quantity of dry grass.

The illegal buildings can show us the buildings that have not yet been registered in the Register of buildings. The legitimacy of a building is given by a set of bureaucratic procedures that take place in the Municipality. This means that building regularity is given by the municipal census and not by that of the tax agency (Italy).

Illegal landfill represents an important environmental and territorial problem. These illegal sites are usually located in the suburbs and they can impact the vegetation and the health of the citizens. To identify the location of landfills and trace their evolution over time, sevara.io developed a model that can recognize the location of illegal landfills.

Sevara.io delivers a map with illegal waste disposals that can be very useful for Public Administrations.
