The rise in extreme weather events due to climate change challenges the balance of supply and demand for high-quality agricultural products. In Taiwan, greenhouse cultivation, a key agricultural method, faces increasing summer temperatures and higher operational costs. This study presents the innovative AI-powered greenhouse environmental control system (AI-GECS), which integrates customized gridded weather forecasts, microclimate forecasts, crop physiological indicators, and automated greenhouse operations. This system utilizes a Multi-Model Super Ensemble (MMSE) forecasting framework to generate accurate hourly gridded weather forecasts. Building upon these forecasts, combined with real-time in-greenhouse meteorological data, the AI-GECS employs a hybrid deep learning model, CLSTM-CNN-BP, to project the greenhouse’s microclimate on an hourly basis. This predictive capability allows for the assessment of crop physiological indicators within the anticipated microclimate, thereby enabling preemptive adjustments to cooling systems to mitigate adverse conditions. All processes run on a cloud-based platform, automating operations for enhanced environmental control. The AI-GECS was tested in an experimental greenhouse at the Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute, showing strong alignment with greenhouse management needs. This system offers a resource-efficient, labor-saving solution, fusing microclimate forecasts with crop models to support sustainable agriculture. This study represents critical advancements in greenhouse automation, addressing the agricultural challenges of climate variability.
Climate-induced extreme rainfall events are increasing the intensity and frequency of flash floods, highlighting the urgent need for advanced flood management systems in climate-resilient cities. This study introduces an Intelligent Flood Control Decision Support System (IFCDSS), a novel AI-driven solution for real-time flood forecasting and automated pump operations. The IFCDSS integrates multiple advanced tools: machine learning for rapid short-term water level forecasting, NSGA-III for multi-objective optimization, the TOPSIS for robust multi-criteria decision-making, and the ANFIS for real-time pump control. Implemented in the flood-prone Zhongshan Pumping Station catchment in Taipei, the IFCDSS leveraged real-time sensor data to deliver accurate water level forecasts within five seconds for the next 10–30 min, enabling proactive and informed operational responses. Performance evaluations confirm the system’s scientific soundness and practical utility. Specifically, the ANFIS achieved strong accuracy (R2 = 0.81), with most of the prediction errors being limited to a single pump unit. While the conventional manual operations slightly outperformed the IFCDSS in minimizing flood peaks—due to their singular focus—the IFCDSS excelled in balancing multiple objectives: flood mitigation, energy efficiency, and operational reliability. By simultaneously addressing these dimensions, the IFCDSS provides a robust and adaptable framework for urban environments. This study highlights the transformative potential of intelligent flood control to enhance urban resilience and promote sustainable, climate-adaptive development.
