Ongoing research project (Arup-AECOM) for HE

Assessment of RS techniques applicable to monitoring the embankments, cuttings and pavements on 7,000km of England’s motorways and major trunk roads.

Current & future RS uses:

• Ground deformation

• Feature recognition

• Condition monitoring

• Soil saturation

• Change detection

Case Study #1 Highways England

Case study #3 RS data for climate change & hydrological modelling

Time series 1968 to 2016 (48 yrs)

Showing glacial retreat and advance.

3D modelling of DEM allows for calculation of meltwater changes.

To input to hydrological modelling & climate modelling.

To inform planning and design of resilient infrastructure downstream:

bridges, HEP, roads, utilities, urban planning.
