NAVERIS

Project Overview

NAVERIS is an innovative early warning system for natural disasters that was developed as part of the NASA Space Apps Cairo 2023 Hackathon. The project leverages advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques to predict various natural disasters with different accuracy levels.

Project Mission

The primary goal of NAVERIS is to serve as a comprehensive early warning system that can help communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters before they occur. By analyzing meteorological data and environmental patterns, NAVERIS aims to save lives and reduce property damage through timely alerts and predictions.

Prediction Accuracy

Our system has been tested and validated with the following accuracy rates for different types of natural disasters:

Accuracy Analysis

• Tornadoes (91%): Our highest accuracy prediction, utilizing advanced atmospheric pressure analysis and wind pattern recognition
• Storms (87%): Strong predictive capability through meteorological data integration
• Earthquakes (45%): Currently in development phase, focusing on seismic data analysis and geological pattern recognition

Technical Implementation

MAPPING WITH DOTMATRIX

Dot Matrix Generator System

The Dot Matrix Generator is a sophisticated geospatial data processor that creates comprehensive environmental maps. This system:

• Generates coordinate-based data points with longitude and latitude mapping
• Collects real-time meteorological data including atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction
• Outputs structured JSON data for easy integration with prediction algorithms
• Creates visual dot projections for geographic representation of weather patterns

Data Structure

Each data point captured by our system contains the following information:

{
  "id": "1",
  "lat": "46.2102",
  "lon": "-38.8989",
  "ws": "43.38",
  "wd": "319",
  "ap": "1010"
}

Field Descriptions:

• id: Unique identifier for each data point
• lat: Latitude coordinate (decimal degrees)
• lon: Longitude coordinate (decimal degrees)
• ws: Wind speed (km/h or mph)
• wd: Wind direction (degrees, 0-360)
• ap: Atmospheric pressure (millibars)

Data Collection Network

Our system continuously monitors thousands of data points across various geographic regions, creating a comprehensive network of environmental sensors. The complete dataset can be found in our dotMatrix.json file, which contains real-time updates from our monitoring network.
