In landslide-prone regions, railway networks are vulnerable to rapid flow-like landslides, which can cause extensive damage, even at significant distances from the landslide's point of origin. The prioritization protective measures on a national scale depends accurate assessment each segment's exposure landslides. This study introduces methodology for evaluating transportation infrastructure, with specific focus application this is demonstrated Italy's network. involves multi-phase approach,...
Geo-hydrological hazards, particularly rapid flow-like landslides, present a critical challenge for transportation infrastructures globally. These phenomena pose severe risks due to their ability propagate rapidly and cause extensive damage railway tracks, vehicles, human life. Climate change exacerbates these by intensifying precipitation patterns, further increasing landslide frequency impact.This study introduces an innovative methodology assessing the exposure of infrastructure...
Floods often cause significant damage to transportation infrastructure such as roads, railways, and bridges. This study identifies several topographic, environmental, hydrological factors (slope, elevation, rainfall, land use cover, distance from rivers, geology, topographic wetness index, drainage density) influencing the safety of railway uses multi-criteria analysis (MCA) alongside an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) produce flood susceptibility maps within a geographic information...
As dramatically confirmed by the recent earthquakes in Amatrice and Visso 2016, collapse of a road bridge along Savona-Torino highway 2019, Italy all its constructions infrastructures passing through territory are potentially exposed to considerable seismic hydrogeological risks. Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), role Infrastructure Manager, is responsible for management safety rail traffic on Italian network. RFI has therefore implemented system that ensures control risks associated with...
