The primary condition to produce eruptive solar flare events and solar energetic particles is the opening of magnetic field lines into interplanetary space. In that respect, real-time radio spectra cover important observational information with substantial lead time for space weather warnings. For Space Weather forecasting an objective detection of radio type III and type II bursts is key. We present an algorithm using multiple e-CALLISTO radio stations to detect a) type III bursts, distinguishing between confined and eruptive flares and b) type II bursts, identifying shocks produced by fast coronal mass ejections. We present statistical results for the detection rates and an outlook of the implementation of the algorithm to the e-CALLISTO station at the University of Graz in Austria as well as to the entire international network.
