PANTHEON Project: Urban Digital Twins to Enhance Disaster Resilience

Excited to share insights about the PANTHEON Project, an ambitious Horizon Europe initiative that kicked off in January 2023 with 17 partners across 9 countries! PANTHEON’s mission is to create a cutting-edge Smart City Digital Twin (SCDT) platform that improves disaster resilience in urban environments, protecting people, the environment as well as the economy.

Led by TWI Hellas, the project aims to establish an AI-powered, community-based ecosystem to improve disaster risk management and situational awareness. PANTHEON leverages advanced digital twin technology to support policymakers and stakeholders in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural disasters.

ENAC's contributions are focused on:

• Developing a swarm controller for a fleet of drones to simulate the survey of an area struck by earthquake or by wildfire


• Our algorithm can assess how many drones are necessary, and how long it will take, to cover an area with aerial photographs.

Key milestones so far include:

• A successful demo showcasing our progress to EU project leads


• End-user requirements gathering sessions for drones, with more collaborative meetings ahead


• Ongoing partnerships with Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and TWI to develop innovative algorithms for zone partitioning and swarm coordination


• Integration efforts with the PANTHEON front end and back end are underway with our partners M3SB and SIMAVI

PANTHEON is setting new methods for disaster resilience through real-time data and community collaboration.
