Project: RUN [POR FESR Liguria 2014-2020 – Asse 1 “Ricerca e Innovazione – Azione 1.2.4]”.
Project start: 03/2022
Darts Engineering takes part in the project “RUN – Urban Resilience: now-casting of flood risk with IoT sensors and OpenData” – co-funded by Regional Operational Program Filse – bringing its expertise on the theme of the use of ICT technologies for the technological field of Safety and quality of life in the territory. The project, carried out in collaboration with AMIU Spa, Colouree Srl, Darts Engineering Srl and IREN Spa, involves the development and demonstration of a now-casting service of the risk of flooding during heavy rains. Using IoT technologies and Big Data analysis tools designed for Smart Cities and urban drainage network managers, the service allows faster actions to protect people and properties and allows subjects in charge of the maintenance of the storm drains to plan interventions for optimal system operation.

eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the so-called “Exponential Technologies“, innovations progressing at an accelerated pace that will have the capability to generate tremendous benefits for individuals and society.
Algorithms and human beings will have to interact by building a relationship based on trust. For this reason it will be crucial that this technology remains accessible and understandable to a human being who can verify its reliability and results.
Darts designs and selects the most innovative explainable AI (XAI) solutions that are able to create “transparent” or “clear box” models in order to mantain a human-centric approach.
