    3D-Grundwasseranalyse von Bauvorhaben mittels GeoPro3D
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Hilbring, Désirée
    GeoPro is a 3D GIS application for visualising the ground water table and hydrogeological profiles in designated regions for construction sites. The term construction sites comprises single as well as groups of buildings for urban planning and routes for regional planning. GeoPro3D is a tool to detect conflicts between construction sites and the ground water table. To achieve this the user can view and analyse the entire planning situation or interesting parts of the scene in a three dimensional virtual world embedded in a Geographic Information System.

    A Bayesian Approach to Estimation of Metal Flows in Waste Streams
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Löfving, Erik; Grimvall, Anders
    Metal contents in waste are normally presented without any measures of uncertainty, and, if such measures are given, they are normally based on subjective judgements. Moreover, it is difficult to analyse existing data sets by employing traditional statistical procedures. The number of analysed samples can be very small and the sampling strategy is often unknown. Outliers are common and it is not unusual that the standard deviation is larger than the mean. In this paper, we propose a method that combines subjective judgement of uncertainty with actual observations to establish uncertainty bounds. The Bayesian statistical framework is used to set up a probability model that reflects our scientific problem, and this provides a theoretical basis for the inference problem.

    A Common Tool for Managing Environmental Monitoring Data
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Rüther, Maria; Bandholtz, Thomas; Schulte-Coerne, Till
    This article gives an overview of a recent project of the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) regarding the management of its data. It describes the user requirements, both from the perspective of the scientists as well as of application management, which have led to the development of a general tool for managing environmental data. Examples demonstrate the flexible structure of the new application and thus give an impression for possible use in other monitoring programs. Thereafter, we examine the German ESB’s open data, which is a part of the Federal Environment Agency’s Linked Open Data initiative.

    A Comparative Eco-balance for Coating Materials with Epoxidised Derivatives
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Khatib, Chaouki; Marx-Gómez, Jorge; Prötzsch, Silke; Rautenstrauch, Claus
    The scope of the presented project was to illuminate and describe the potential environmental impacts which are caused by the production and application of a coating material using epoxidised derivatives. Therefore an appropriate comparative eco-balance in collaboration with the company BIOMEL GmbH located in Dessau (Germany) shall be conducted. Problem definition, approach and results will be given.

    A Content Platform for Smartphone-based Mobile Augmented Reality
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 1: Core Application Areas, 2012) Fuchs-Kittowski, Frank; Simroth, Stefan; Himberger, Sebastian; Fischer, Fabian
    Mobile Augmented Reality (mAR) is thought of having an enormous economic potential. But the commercial success still depends on the availability of AR content. In this paper a content platform for the efficient realization of AR applications on mobile devices (Smartphones) is described. Requirements for such a mAR content platform are derived based on application fields in flood management. Then, the concept and implementation of an AR content platform are described covering the whole content creation process. Besides, mAR apps in the field of flood management based on this platform are presented.

    A Decision Support Tool for the Selection of Clean Technologies in SME's
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Kakaras, Emmanuel; Giannakopoulos, Dionysios; Hatzilau, Christina St.; Angelopoulou, Annie
    A methodological approach and the results related to the development and the implementation of a tool for the introduction of clean technologies (CT) to SME's was developed resulting into an innovative and user-friendly software package Decision Support Tool (DST) using an integrated techno-economical full-scale application. The methodological scheme adopted for the design of the DST was based on the formulation of a Clean Technologies database for the Textile Industry, which was developed by a survey of the "clean" textile processes, as well as, on the elaboration of mass/energy balances of the textile processes. The DST was simulated successfully in industrial environment.

    A Floodplain Inventory for the Danube River Basin Based on GIS and Satellite Technologies, with a Special Focus on Geo-referenced Digital Videography
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Schwarz, Ulrich; Jensen, Svend
    There is a long tradition of using remote sensing applications for the inventory of floodplain areas, in this case particularly wetlands, where in English speaking countries videographic techniques have been extensively used. Videography represents a very cost-effective image acquisition and monitoring procedure that can be used in combination with widely available satellite data (Landsat 7), even when digital video data has an inferior geometric quality when compared to high resolution scanner data and orthophotos. In the following article a proposal for an inventory covering the Danubian floodplains with regard to methodology and operational realisation has been made. Accordingly specific applications, as well as the professional technical aspects under different conditions for various users are illustrated.

    A GIS-based Information System for Managing and Analysing Profile Information for the Use in the Water Management Authorities within the State of Baden-Württemberg
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Haase, Michael; Braun, Peter; Kröger, Joachim; Stegmaier, Andreas
    Profile data are required for a variety of tasks which have to performed by river authorities. The acquisition of high quality profile data in general is expensive. The results of a survey among users of profile data in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany show that digital profile data are not managed uniquely. Due to this fact data loss may easily result. In addition it is very difficult to provide interoperability services for these profile data. Against this background the Ministry of Environment and Traffic of the state of BadenWuerttemberg has contracted the Research Institute for Applied Knowledge Processing at the University of Ulm to design an information system for storing, retrieving and handling profile data. The latter is subject to this paper.

    A GIS-based Route Mapping Tool for Disabled Access in Urban Environments
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Beale, Linda; Briggs, David
    Access and mobility are important dimensions of quality of life. For wheelchair users, everyday trips are often fraught with problems with many barriers, imperceptible to the able-bodied, hindering or totally restricting mobility. The MAGUS project developed and tested a decision-making tool that offers information that will assist route planning based upon the situated knowledge of wheelchair users. The study employed social science techniques to investigate and quantify urban barriers, and GIS and computer technologies to translate these into an operational route assessment and modelling package, using dynamic segmentation and network analysis techniques. This tool was applied and tested in Northampton, UK and provides a decision support and mapping tool for planners, and a guidance device to help wheelchair users.
