Ximenes Project

The Ximenes Project in short

In short, the Ximenes Project includes the following functions:

1) A service to automatically spread the Weather Alerts issued by the Official Istitutions, as well as the information concerning road conditions (ice, fog, heavy rain, wind etc);

2) A network, with an interactive map, to receive the data from amateur, professional and also official meteorological weather stations in the operational area of the Tuscany region;

3) A free-of- charge service, available for other institutions as well, with automatic notifications regarding climatic events in case certain default thresholds are overcome. This uses innovative, free-of charge and very user-friendly digital tools, such as Messenger, Telegram Bots and Telegram itself.

In detail

Alert system

This tool enables to read the data from local stations present in both the Ximenes and CRF networks, up to a total of 900 stations. It is possible to have an overview of real time consultation, with an automatic update. The system, in addition to graphically visualizing data, also reports conditional formatting if there are values close to the alert thresholds. Through your own panel, you can set the alerts in each station and data typology when such thresholds are overcome. Notifications will be sent by e-mail and Telegram

Main consultations:
