ATHENS, Greece<\/span>, Sept. 4, 2024<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Huawei and partners National and\u00a0Kapodistrian University of Athens<\/span> (NKUA)\u00a0and the start-up PROBOTEK\u00a0have successfully tested a forest fire prevention system in Greece<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The partners tested the real-time detection system using a smoke and fire simulation. The solution, developed under Huawei’s TECH4ALL<\/a>\u00a0initiative, will enable emergency services to respond to potential forest fires within 15 minutes, the timeframe within which fire risks can be best controlled.<\/p>\n

“For the past 20 years, Huawei has introduced leading technologies to Greece<\/span>, believing in the power of innovation to protect the environment, preserve biodiversity, and ensure the safety of citizens and their property,” said Ren Fujun,\u00a0CEO of the Southeast European Region of Huawei.<\/p>\n

With hot, dry, and windy summers, the Greek mainland and its islands are highly susceptible to outbreaks of large-scale forest fires. Given the impact of climate change, fire outbreaks in Greece<\/span> are increasing in number and frequency every year, causing potentially permanent impact on natural ecosystems and posing increased risk of human casualties and property damage.<\/p>\n

Conducted by NKUA and PROBOTEK, the smoke and fire simulation test took place at NKUA’s premises in a forested area of Athens<\/span>. Connected by Huawei’s network technologies, sensors in the forest prompted the command center to deploy an automated drone to the test site.<\/p>\n

Based on video footage transmitted by the drone coupled with meteorological and geomorphological data, AI analysis was able to identify fire and smoke events in real time and predict:<\/p>\n
