AI-Powered Communication Analytics for Disaster Response
The award-winning innovation is the result of a collaboration between faculty members and students from 麻豆国产’s Faculty of Engineering and CSII. The system was developed to support data management during disaster response operations, particularly following earthquakes.
By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), the dashboard analyzes public communication data and presents key insights in an accessible visual format. This enables relevant agencies to monitor evolving situations and assess public needs more effectively and efficiently.
Funded by the , the project builds upon data from?, a citizen reporting and urban issue management platform developed by the . The innovation extends the platform’s capabilities to support earthquake disaster management.?
The system can collect, analyze, and visualize communication data from social media platforms and other digital channels, allowing users to quickly identify emerging trends, concerns, needs, and shifts in public communication patterns throughout different stages of the post-disaster response period.
Supporting Better Decision-Making During Emergencies
The dashboard also has strong potential as a decision-support tool for government agencies and disaster management organizations. By providing deeper insights into the social context, public sentiment, and immediate needs of affected communities, the system can help authorities design more effective relief strategies, risk communication plans, and emergency response measures that are better aligned with citizens’ needs.
