# DIGENTI Apps

Open-source web-based tool for area accessibility assessment in the context of disaster management – based on satellite data and geovisualization.

The tool gives an overview of the accessibility of the settlements in the [Area of Interest in Colombia](https://docs.google.com/document/d/15N1pgERY4TUcnvck36jJFi3MvAZuxh8J-mOUpWDt-_w/edit?usp=sharing) using a routing API and remote sensing data.

Moreover, the repository includes a set of snippets and examples, including routing experiments combining a routing API and remote sensing data.

## Accessibility Interface

The Accessibility Interface is located in `app-access`.

The interface visualizes for each settlement:

- Accessibility by road (vehicle)
- Accessibility by path (walk)

*Overview of the accessibility of each settlement in the area:*
Area accessibility overview

*Reachability of a settlement by road with time isolines:*
Settlement reachability

If a settlement is **not directly accessible** by road:

1. Provide accessibility data to the nearest road:
- Distance
- Elevation profile
- Passable areas (%, polygons)
- Walkable areas (%, polygons)
2. Provide helicopter landing areas (within a given distance from the settlement)

*Data to the settlement's nearest road:*
Missing settlement reachability

*Potential helicopter landing sites around a settlement:*
Potential helicopter landing sites

*Summary of the remote sensing data-based routing concept:*

## Dependencies

This is the client part of a modular architecture. In order to access the satellite data you'll need to install the following packages:

- [DIGENTI Framework: Libs, commons and utils](https://github.com/FH-Potsdam/digenti-framework)
- [DIGENTI Server and REST API](https://github.com/FH-Potsdam/digenti-api)
- [PostGRE / PostGIS Database](https://redmine.geoway.de/projects/digenti/wiki/Notes)

## Docs

Further information of the project can be found in the following research articles and documentation:

## Data

The remote sensing data is based on the Tandem-X WorldDEM 10-m resolution digital elevation model (DEM) with complete coverage for the area of interest.
