Level 3 "HUMBOLDT Scenarios"The main goal of the Humboldt scenarios is employment of the developed framework components in real world conditions, based on applications that simulate these conditions identified indifferent environment-related uses cases. The scenarios are both a test bed and a community-driven research environment, which will assist in the development and promotion of the project’s objectives. Humboldt will invite additional users in a midterm call to join the project and participate in the further development of additional scenarios (for further information please refer to the Humboldt project site Get Involved! section). This contributes also to the full realisation of the sustainability of the framework program. The eight HUMBOLDT Scenarios cover a wide variety of application domains, stakeholders and test areas. The following application scenarios are faced by the Humboldt partnership. Click on each Scenario to have a more detailled description of its training Components.
This Scenario addresses environmental, architectural, and social needs of all the stakeholders in urban planning by offering them integrated access and visualization of such different data as sociodemographic information and 3D city models, which makes this Scenario a perfect test for data integration from different application domains.
In this Scenario, which centres on the management of forests in Czech Republic both also between countries on both sides of the Czech-German border, metadata harmonisation, geometric and semantic harmonisation of multiple representations and different sources of geodata are the aims. Another Scenario in which highly different data sets need to be used together, from biodiversity, land cover information to data for planning, management and promotion of protected Areas. These geo-information flows are identified at all management levels (EU, national; regional and local).
The European Risk Atlas (ERiskA) Scenario aims at facilitating cross-border cooperation between the agencies responsible for disaster management in the Lake Constance region by enabling the exchange of information on potentially flooded areas and inundation of infrastructure like roads and railways.
This Scenario address the issues of catchments crossing over national borders, managed by different states in different, often conflicting, ways .
Being the largest Scenario in HUMBOLDT, this project will focus on cross-border, multi-language data, with high amounts of satellite data playing an important role. However, distributed processing and 4D visualizations are used for the simulation of oil spills and other disasters.
The Atmosphere Scenario illustrates integration and provision of these air quality data through a Location-based Service (LBS). This LBS offers possibilities to provide the users with information especially adapted to their needs in a mobile environment. Within the scenario, the purpose of such a service is to offer comprehensive personalised information on air quality depending on their actual location and profile.
Harmonisation of key variables of urban development also in responses to climate change. Urban planning provides one of the most technically demanding applications of the HUMBOLDT Framework and yet successful application offers great rewards in terms of policy impact.
