Hazards

Geological hazards

The aim of this innovation project was to use existing runoff and slope stability models to generate slope stability maps and link them to transport networks. It also used a routing method to distribute the relative risks onto linear networks. This resulted in maps of road segments that could be classified into low, medium or high hazard.
