Landslide identification and monitoring for infrastructure planning and management

The planning, design and management of infrastructures
require a in-depth knowledge of the territory and its
dynamics.

Target

It is essential to have updated information regarding the

risk of landslides, their localization, delimitation and
speed to plan and manage new infrastructural networks
(motorways, railways dams and industrial sites).

Applications

Preciso landslide is a service of territorial mapping

designed for the monitoring of large infrastructures, which
supplies detailed information on:

Public Administration; Planners and professionals in the

territory.
Timely identification of subsidence phenomena,
optimization of monitoring in situ, planning emergency
maintenance intervention.
Key Benefits

Involvement of the public in planning decisions

Localization of areas at risk

Transparency in the planning stages

Degree of landslide activity

Improving relationships during co-operative planning

talks

Reducing costs of drawing up the plans

Immediate activation of interaction with citizens

Product information content

Technical characteristics
Preciso landslide uses readings taken from
Synthethic Aperture Radar (SAR) data to measure
sub-centimetric movements of reference points on the
ground.
The ample availability radar satellites, such as
Cosmo-SkyMed, ERS, Envisat, Radarsat and
TerraSAR-X give the possibility of frequent readings,
allowing continuous territorial monitoring in any area
of the globe, with historical data cover the last ten
years.
The maps of movement are used as database to
classify the state of the landslide.
The service also uses optical stereoscopic images to
define the areas of subsidence.

Preciso landslide provides periodical supply of a

geographical database containing polygons of the
landslide areas, associated with the information
on condition and the trend of movement in recent
years.
The frequency of information updating is based on
the users needs.
In areas where the perimeters of the landslides
are unknown, the activation phase of the service
includes new mapping or updating of landslide
charts.
It is designed in collaboration with the experts of
CNR IRPI of Perugia, Italy, specialized in satellite
data
processing
and
geomorphological
interpretation.
The extraction of interpherometric measurements,
taken from SAR satellite data, is made with the
SPINUA algorithm created by GAP Srl, a spin-off
of the Politecnico of Bari.
