Applications of photogrammetry to rock slope hazard assessment for linear transportation corridors

Session: Transportation

ABSTRACT: Rock slopes may pose hazards to adjacent transportation corridors. To manage the issue, rock hazard rating systems have been developed for railway and highway organizations to rate slope hazards and prioritize mitigation works. A review of several rating systems resulted in the identification of parameters used in rock slope hazard assessment schemes, which could be evaluated from photogrammetry. A case study demonstrating this approach is presented.


RÉSUMÉ: Les pentes rocheuses peuvent présenter des risques pour les corridors de transport voisins. Pour gérer ce problème, les systèmes d'évaluation de risque ont été développés pour les organisations ferroviaires et routiers pour évaluer les dangers posés par les pentes et de prioriser les travaux de mitigation. Un examen de plusieurs systèmes d'évaluation a abouti à l'identification des paramètres utilisés dans les systèmes d'évaluation de risque pour les pentes rocheuses, qui pourraient être évalués avec la photogrammétrie. Une étude de cas démontrant cette approche est présenté.
