  • JIXEL Cap Generator – Its use for fires in Calabria

    Cap Generator is being used by the emergency services of Calabria to create and share information on fires. The user of Cap Generator is able to create different jixels depending on the type of information to be inserted (fire / resources / structures).
    The application permits to insert all the information that can be relevant for the jixel, e.g. the type of fire (like woods) for a jixel with a “fire” tipology, the type of resource (jeep, helicopter, etc.) for a jixel with a “resource” tipology, the type of structure for a jixel with a “structure” tipology, and other information about location, description and caller.

    The Cap Generator is able to visualize the jixels created in the overall area (Calabria) or in the specific zone (at province level), depending on the authorization level held by the user.

    All information created using the CAPGenerator interface can be accessed by the intended recipients and displayed on the CAPViewer geographical interface.
