Evaluation Of Linking Pavement Related Databases, Yuhong Wang, David L. Allen
Evaluation Of Linking Pavement Related Databases, Yuhong Wang, David L. Allen
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
In general, the objectives of this study were to identify and solve various issues in linking pavement performance related database. The detailed objectives were: to evaluate the state-of-the-art in information technology for data integration and data mining, to review the existing KyTC databases and study their potentiality for being linked for pavement performance evaluation, to prepare data linking alternatives for the KyTC’s review, to prepare an implementation plan for linking pavement related databases. The study reviewed the current practices of data integration by other organizations that face the similar challenges as KyTC. In addition, a review was conducted of the …

The University of Wollongong landslide research team has developed a comprehensive GIS-based Landslide Inventory of the 550 km2 Wollongong Local Government Area (WLGA) and surrounding regions, just south of Sydney in the State of New South Wales, Australia. This inventory includes 575 landslide sites and forms the crucial centerpiece of the methodology reported in this paper. The inventory identifies 2.95% of a 188 km2 escarpment study area to be covered by landsliding reported during the last 120 years. With GIS-based data sets, a ‘slide’ category landslide susceptibility map layer has been developed with the aid of ‘knowledge-based’ data-mining techniques. Susceptibility …

This paper describes ‘knowledge-based’ data-mining techniques, developed for the assessment of landslide susceptibility and hazard with particular reference to its application in the Wollongong area. Large scale maps of geology and a comprehensive Landslide Inventory with regional coverage have been prepared. GIS-based derivatives of the digital elevation model including slope, geomorphology, curvature, flow accumulation and wetness index have been developed. Model performance has been assessed as part of a refined methodology for validation, including field inspections. Susceptibility zones outside known landslide areas have been classified as (a) high (b) moderate, (c) low and (d) very low susceptibility. Results show the …

Análisis De Deslizamientos En La Ciudad Capital Utilizando Sistemas De Información Geográfica, Pedro Pablo Conlledo, Ronaldo Luna
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
En Guatemala, los daños ocasionados por deslizamientos de tierra son innumerables, y sin embargos son pocos los esfuezos que se han hecho a nivel nacional por estudiarlos. El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue utilizar Sistemas de lnformacion Geografica (SlG) para estudiar sistematicamente la ocurrencia de deslizamientos en el Departamento de Guatemala con la informacion disponible.
