01
Research facilities
Spaces and tools for studying risk.
Research teams combine laboratory capabilities and analytical methods according to the study. Equipment suitability and access are considered as part of each collaboration.
INFRASTRUCTURE
From field observations
to informed decisions.
Research facilities, a data analysis room and a mobile measurement platform support data collection and the study of hazardous events.
02
Data analysis room
Where individual observations come together.
The data analysis room supports information synthesis, model review and collaboration between research teams. Analyses are accompanied by their assumptions and limitations.
03
Mobile measurement platform
Bringing research into the field.
The mobile platform consists of a trailer with a removable cabin and is used for field measurement campaigns. Campaign design, available sensors and field conditions determine the type and quality of the data.

Inside the Center’s infrastructure.
RESEARCH TOOLS
Equipment, models
and digital systems.
Control and analysis center
The room supports data collection, storage and analysis, as well as the development and distribution of hazard and consequence scenarios.
- 7 integrated workstations and a server.
- Networking and telecommunications equipment.
- Projection systems, laptops and videoconferencing facilities.
Field instruments and sample analysis
The infrastructure description includes the following examples of instruments and laboratory tools.
- Meteorological stations, water-level monitoring stations and a laser scanner.
- Filtration systems with vacuum pumps.
- Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), portable spectrophotometry and a thermoreactor for chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis.
Models and software
Tools recorded in the description cover data analysis, mapping and simulation.
- ADMS for pollutant dispersion modelling.
- R for biometeorological indices and statistical models.
- FlamMap for fire behaviour analysis and QGIS for geographic analysis.
WebGIS and sensor time series
The WebGIS is designed to store, process and share research findings as vector maps.
- Sensor measurements are stored on the RiskAC server.
- Desktop and mobile systems support the presentation of measurement time series.
- Availability of specific data or findings is considered as part of a collaboration.
These capabilities are documented in the research infrastructure description. Equipment availability and suitability for a specific task are confirmed when planning a collaboration.
FIELDWORK
Research begins
in the field.
Field measurements connect the condition of an infrastructure asset with the evidence used in analysis. Laser scanning complements the research teams’ data collection and processing tools.
