In France, seismic activity causes damage to individuals and property over large areas, leading to widespread crises that require rapid and large-scale safety responses. Providing an overview of the deteriorated situation in order to take action that meets immediate needs while ensuring these choices target a gradual return to normalcy is therefore critical. As such, […]
Dikes are civil engineering works that play an essential role: they protect populations and their property in the event of flooding. However, if this function fails, that is to say when a dike breaks completely, the human and economic consequences can be dramatic. In a context of climate change, aging flood protection structures must be […]
The city of Paris and the National Museum of Natural History will look at how Norway rats (R. norvegicus) use space and move in urban areas, particularly on the surface in parks and gardens, and in underground areas, in order to meet the following objectives: To study environmental health issues in the city: issues related […]
Today’s cities are undergoing multiple overarching changes that create an imbalance in how they function by directly impacting residents and urban infrastructure. To respond to these changes, cities are striving to make their infrastructure more robust and resilient. This project will focus on Paris’ non-drinkable water network (RENP), which today has the vital function of […]
The impact of planning on the human and natural environment is an increasingly common issue in configuring, carrying out and concerting infrastructure and town planning projects. It impacts both major projects, such as high-speed rail lines, highways, large stadiums, etc., as well as – and increasingly – micro-projects like housing developments, ZACs and shopping centers. […]
By 2022, new vehicles must be equipped with an EDR (Event Data Recorder), a kind of crash black box. These EDRs will make it possible to record vehicle data several seconds before an impact (speed, acceleration, steering wheel angle, etc.). The goal of the iSafe-Virtual Human project, which will host the internship, is to use […]
This work attempts to assess the impact that climate change could have on future hydrodynamic conditions in coastal areas and in particular on coastal and port maritime structures. For this it seems necessary to know the characteristics of protective structures and how their behavior evolves over time as well as the failure modes of a […]
The goal of this internship is to conduct a technical feasibility study to analyze the movement of rats (under and above ground). In other words, it consists of carrying out a comparative evaluation of the sensors likely to meet the specifications for the identification, tracking and localization of rats. It involves doing a comparative evaluation […]
Images and videos of floods captured by amateurs, which are almost always communicated via social networks such as Twitter or the like, are now commonplace. The systematization of their interpretation would provide a new source of precious information that would greatly enrich the still fragmented knowledge on runoff water during exceptional floods. This would make […]
For some time now, there has been a series of (original) urban risks directly linked to the Waze application such as leading users to dangerous places (bad neighborhoods, flooded areas, areas affected by fires, etc.). Waze, which is aware of the issue, is now trying to find solutions. In addition to these urban risks, the […]
