Abstract
ESTIA is a research and innovation project that aspires to develop a comprehensive platform allowing the forecast, detection and management of incidents that are related with the risk of structural fires within Cultural Heritage (CH) settlements and sites. ESTIA aims to (a) enhance the management and preservation of CH, (b) limit the risks of fire incidents within traditional settlements and CH sites, (c) provide competent authorities with tools for training, coordination and support for an efficient response to fire incidents, (d) effectively protect and guide inhabitants and visitors, (e) suppress structural damages in historic buildings, historic settlements and CH sites and assets, (f) support and promote cultural events and tourism in harmony with the particular requirements of CH preservation. By incorporating advanced procedures for the semi-automatic digitization of the CH built environment as well as an advanced system that simulates the development of the complex phenomena of fire propagation and human crowd behaviour, the platform is an effective tool that on one hand, assists competent authorities in assessing the fire related risks and on the other, serves as a training tool and offers fire management capabilities for first responders and civil protection officers.
