RTL-3D: Collaborative Study of Kindai University in Japan, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN)
The Real-Time Lightning 3D Imaging and Forecasting Project (RTL-3D) aims to reduce lightning-related fatalities and property damage in Malaysia and globally by forecasting lightning hazards. The project uses advanced algorithms to create 3D maps of lightning and charge distribution with high accuracy. Validation occurs through rocket-triggered lightning experiments, leading to the development of flood forecasting algorithms with over 90% accuracy. RTL-3D integrates advanced ICT infrastructure and lightning sensors for real-time monitoring across Malaysia, enhancing disaster preparedness. It also provides monitoring dashboards and applications for users such as fishermen and engineers. The project runs from June 2023 to May 2028 under the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS), with collaboration between Japanese and Malaysian institutions, led by Professor Takeshi Morimoto (Kindai) and Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Riduan Ahmad (UTeM), and Associate Professor Dr. Farah Hani Nordin (UNITEN).
