Fremont, Calif., December 3, 2009—In response to growing global concern over the impact of extreme climatic and other environmental events on critical infrastructure, Space-Time Insight has announced the release of an upgrade to its Space-Time Crisis Composite.
This release of the composite adds geospatial analytics that correlate the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes, lightning, ice storms and man-made events on grid assets and supports on-screen action scripts that guide operators in taking fast action before, during and after the event.
‘’The Space-Time Crisis Composite correlates real-time streaming data with enterprise data and weather and environmental feeds to provide operators of critical infrastructure with rich geospatial analytics that enable fast, informed action directly from a satellite view of operating assets and surrounding urban and suburban terrain,’’ states Mark L. Feldman, Ph.D., CEO of Space-Time Insight.
‘’No matter what your position on the climate and its impact,’’ says Feldman, ‘’all critical infrastructure companies must be prepared. The first release of the Space-Time Crisis Composite focused on wildfires and related weather events. It helped electric utilities in California visually balance transmission and manage distribution through devastating summer fires.’ “This release of the composite adds geospatial analytics that correlate the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes, lightning, ice storms and man-made events on grid assets and supports on-screen action scripts that guide operators in taking fast action before, during and after the event.”
