Digital Twin - Flood Awareness Simulation

Closed Human-Computer Interaction Games Engineering Bachelor Master Thesis No Affiliation

Overview

With this Digital Twin project we want to increase the awareness for flood issues. Using real-world data integrated in an engaging, “fun” and “good-looking” application should provide a great overview of the results of flooding. Our first step will be to integrate flooding due to heavy and/or prolonged rainfall so we will be able to depict realistic scenarios for a country like Germany.

Current State

• Flood simulation prototype developed in the Unreal Engine
• Interactive approach to create a gamified application

Open Research Topics

• Evaluation of the effectivity of various visualisation methods for the use in a flood awareness simulation.
  Evaluation of Flood Awareness Simulation Representation
  
  
• Further topics possible.
