The TAPIN project (Enabling Technologies for an Intelligent Port Environment) aims to develop a comprehensive and pervasive system that leverages smart technologies to enhance operations, safety, and environmental sustainability in a busy port setting, whether commercial/industrial or tourist-oriented.
The enabling technologies employed in the project include the implementation of computer vision techniques to monitor and analyze the presence and movements of vehicles and people, in order to identify bottlenecks, safety violations, and security risks. In addition, the project involves the collection, storage, and processing of large amounts of data from heterogeneous sources, such as sensors monitoring air quality, pollutants, particulate matter, acoustic comfort, and meteorological parameters. This will provide detailed insights into port operations, area traffic, and environmental factors, ensuring a healthy environment for workers and visitors.
The project intends to integrate existing and partially available market solutions to create a real-time monitoring dashboard and deliver an industrially useful product, demonstrating its benefits in a real operational environment and achieving a complete definition and qualification of the proposed system. Particular attention will be paid to privacy and sensitive data security, while ensuring easy scalability of the project to meet the evolving needs of a growing port and the increasing volume of data in the near future.
