Abstract


A fundamental task to be carried out by the government is planning to prevent problems caused by weather events (e.g., landslides, floods, etc.). This planning can be supported by solutions involving areas of Computer Science such as Data Management, Visualization, and Machine Learning. In this demonstration article, we present the scientific gateway Pluv-Web to support the analysis and monitoring of rainfall and weather events in the city of Niterói. Pluv-Web allows for interactive visualization of historical and real-time rainfall data, as well as the identification of floods through camera images and the generation of optimized routes for handling incidents generated by weather events.

Keywords: Data visualization, Rainfall monitoring
