# Climate Hackathon: SYSTRA wins prize for ClimateViz

How can citizens and decision-makers be better informed about the risks of
climate change and the vulnerability of transport infrastructure? The answer
lies in one word: data visualisation. In response to this challenge, SYSTRA took
part in the Hackaviz Climat, an event organised by the Île-de-France Region and
Île-de-France Mobilités to coincide with the Paris region data week.

Out of 15 entries, SYSTRA won 2nd prize for its ClimateViz solution. Only
available in French for the moment, this data visualisation application was
designed in a record time of three weeks by a team of five experts from SYSTRA
SA and SYSTRA France. It can be used to identify the vulnerabilities of an
infrastructure to climatic hazards. The hackathon case study concerned the Paris
region rail network and its vulnerability to flooding (of the Seine) and forest
fires.

> _This hackathon was a great collaborative experience. The case study enabled us to demonstrate all our skills and our ability to support our clients in transport infrastructure vulnerability studies. Together we were able to create this promising application based on anticipating future climate conditions, going beyond historical data._

### ClimateViz: the ingredients of a winning application

ClimateViz will eventually complement our range of services and solutions. The
application enables the vulnerabilities of infrastructures or networks to be
visualised under current and future conditions, i.e. geographical areas where
exposure to a climate hazard and sensitive assets intersect.  
 

Developed in-house using ArcGis technology, ClimateViz is a mapping application
that enables you to: 

- Display the vulnerabilities of a transport infrastructure in fine detail (100m
  x 100m grid) on maps; 
- Anticipate the evolution of this vulnerability in the face of future climate
  conditions, taking into account historical data and going beyond it using
  reference data from climate projection models;
- Identify vulnerable assets that could benefit from adaptation measures.
   

### ClimateViz tested on the Paris region rail network

During the hackathon, ClimateViz was tested on the Paris region rail network, in
the face of flooding on the Seine and forest fires. The methodology used can be
replicated for other linear transport infrastructures, other climatic hazards
and other geographical areas. This is a major advantage for decision-makers,
given that transport infrastructure maintenance costs could increase 20-fold in
Europe by 2080 as a result of climate change, at the current rate of greenhouse
gas emissions (source: IPCC).
