Revolutionising Global Flood Response with AI-Powered Innovation
In an exciting moment for international collaboration and climate resilience, GBDTC’s TPG-UTS Network Sensing Laboratory welcomed a ministerial level Vietnamese government delegation and presented the world-first breakthrough in flood intelligence technology.
The visit showcased cutting-edge network sensing technology presented by Distinguished Professor Jay Guo and Dr Jiachen Kang. This innovation, paired with an AI-enabled Digital Twin, offers unprecedented capabilities in flood detection and prediction —delivering hyper-accurate data at a 5m x 5m spatial resolution and the potential to deliver critical warnings within seconds.
The delegation was visibly impressed, engaging deeply with the presentation and posing insightful questions about the system’s scalability and impact. With Vietnam facing a year of devastating storms, floods, and landslides, the country is investing over $6 billion under its national master plan to enhance early-warning systems and safeguard communities. The delegation expressed strong desire to engage with GBDTC and trial and deploy the technology in Vietnam.
This visit marks a pivotal step in strengthening Australia-Vietnam ties in climate technology and AI. It also positions GBDTC’s innovation as a potential global standard in flood mitigation—offering hope and resilience in the face of escalating climate challenges.
