Transforming decision making for rockfall hazard assessment

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim is to transform conventional approaches to rockfall hazard prediction and mitigation. The management of risks posed by rockfall in Australia currently comes at significant cost and is suboptimal; predicted environmental changes are likely to worsen these hazards. Rockfall mechanics, remote sensing, and data-driven modelling will be combined with advanced visual technologies to deliver a novel, rapid, and reliable augmented reality based rockfall hazard assessment tool. The outcomes are expected to streamline prediction, assessment, and mitigation – supporting practitioners and governments to proactively assess triggering conditions, evaluate risk, and apply robust solutions to improve safety, with substantial economic savings.
