In recent years, due to localized heavy rain and localized torrential downpour as a result of the impact of global warming and heat island phenomenon, the likelihood of flood damage is increasing.
Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation has developed (1) a real-time flood hazard map provision system that predicts locations of possible flooding and water levels in real time by using AI based on water level data collected from water gauges with a built-in wireless communication function and battery installed in sewers as well as weather data and ground rainfall gauge data measured and distributed by public institutions and (2) a control technology that reduces flood risk by predicting the amount of rainwater inflow into pump stations and dynamically changing the water levels to start and stop rainwater pumps based on that, reduces the maintenance costs of rainwater pumps, and mitigates the load on the operators.
By utilizing these system and control technologies, Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation will adapt to climate change and contribute to creating towns where people can continue to live with security.
*Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation has been integrated into Toshiba Corporation on April 1, 2025.
