D6.3 - Evaluation Pilot 1
This document, Deliverable 6.3 (D6.3), presents the outcomes of Task 6.1.1 (T6.1.1) within the RISKADAPT project. The primary goal of this task is to evaluate the PRISKADAPT/MIS platform during its demonstration at Pilot 1, focusing on a Road Bridge in Greece. The overarching objective is to assess the technical performance, operational feasibility, and potential for adoption of the platform among end users and stakeholders, while also gathering feedback to inform future enhancements. As part of T6.1.1, a workshop and demonstration event was organized (on February 13th, 2025) to present the current status of the platform for Pilot 1 and initiate the evaluation process. The methodology followed is in line with ISO 22398:2013 guidelines for exercises and testing, ensuring a systematic approach to planning, conducting, and improving the activities. Through iterative cycles of feedback, the platform is expected to evolve into a tool that meets the dynamic needs of engineers and scientists beyond the project consortium.
The workshop included a presentation of the technical analysis conducted in Pilot 1 and its implementation within the platform. The demonstration session involved a detailed description and training on the platform, followed by a hands-on session, where all attendees had the opportunity to use the platform under the guidance of the training team. At the end of the event, the evaluation process conducted through a technical questionnaire. The platform is accessible online, allowing all project partners and users from the Region of Western Macedonia (RWM) to continue testing and evaluating it.
The results of the questionnaire demonstrated overall positive feedback from participants. Most attendees found the workshop, training activities, and provided materials to be clear and relevant. The majority were able to achieve the specified goals across the various modules with minimal errors and reported that the system was generally easy to use. However, a smaller percentage experienced difficulties, particularly with navigating the map and exploring assets. While many participants believed the platform could enhance task efficiency, some suggested improvements to better meet their expectations. Key recommendations for future enhancements included resolving login and font formatting issues, refining 3D modelling and mapping features, and providing more information on climatological models. Additionally, some participants requested further explanations of graphs and data, easier uploading of multiple infrastructures, and more comprehensive datasets to support expert analysis and 3D representation.
D6.3 represents the first evaluation of the PRISKADAPT platform and contributes to the achievements of the RISKADAPT project by initiating the iterative testing and feedback process. This process will enhance the platform’s robustness and relevance. Specifically, the demonstration activities and evaluation feedback provide valuable recommendations to ensure the platform aligns with the
practical needs of end-users, including stakeholders from Pilot 1, engineers, policymakers, and researchers involved in environmental management, climate risk adaptation, and data-driven decision-making. These improvements will support the development of more effective resilience strategies for critical infrastructures.
