Ski areas hi-tech: the Future Part dall''Abruzzo

In the presence of Vice-President of the Abruzzo Region, Giovanni Lolli and President of Federfuni Abruzzo, Fabrizio Di Muzio, as well as & eacute; the president of the Consortium Ski Pass Alto Sangro, Bonaventura Margadonna, and Professor Pierluigi Beomonte Zobel of & rsquo; Universit & agrave; studies of & rsquo; Aquila, & egrave; was presented at the hall '' Corradino D 'Ascanio' 'of the regional council, in Pescara, & nbsp; project & ldquo; Safety, Environment, Energy (Sae) & rdquo; & nbsp; research that will improve the sustainability & agrave; environmental and energy and the 'accessibility & agrave; on the ski slopes of Europe '.

The study, gi & agrave; tested the Abruzzo mountains and collected in a volume of over 600 pages outlining in fact an innovative model replicable anywhere, aims to improve the conditions of plant safety, monitoring and control, via software, the avalanche risk, including in fact the possibility & agrave; to promptly snow barriers designed to prevent the generation of avalanches; & nbsp; the reduction of environmental costs and energy, with ad hoc interventions that generate savings of over half a million euro all''anno; & nbsp; the improvement of accessibility & agrave ; the area for users with disabilities, thanks all''ausilio wheelchairs and innovative technology, managed through a tablet, as well as & eacute; the 'introduction of voice guidance devices to allow visually impaired people to walk in the mountains. & nbsp; This, in short, the project, financed from the resources of ERDF Por Abruzzo 2007-2013, which cost 750 thousand euro and that involved two years over 20 experts including specialists of the consortium Mountain Amica, the company & agrave; Altevie and Faculty & agrave; Engineering dell''Universit & agrave; dell''Aquila. "Considering the safety requirement is essential for planning and design of engineering interventions for the mountain - & nbsp; said on the sidelines of the conference to present the project manager, & nbsp; Marco Cordeschi & nbsp; - research aims to envisage technical solutions , according to a rigorous logic of sustainability & agrave; environment and energy, they can ensure the achievement of high standards of quality & agrave ;. For the first time in Europe, therefore, are treated jointly the issues of integrated security to ski slopes, avalanches and ski lifts , those of optimizing the management of water resources, those of the Improvement of accessibility & agrave; also for the disabled and the saving of energy in an industrial logic supported by the necessary scientific insights. In this sense, the research project is manifested as a starting point for the planning and design of interventions at the level of mountain tourism sector, with distinct features and characteristics of the pilot reproducibility & agrave; at national and European level.
