A Collection of Computer Vision Algorithms Capable of Detecting Linear Infrastructure for the Purpose of UAV Control
… is the automated traversing and inspection of infrastructure. Much of this infrastructure is linear, such as roads, pipelines, rivers, and railroads. Rather than hard coding all of the GPS coordinates along these linear components into a flight plan for the UAV to follow, one could take …

GETI: GEological-geoTechnical Index for Natural Risks Assessment with a Multi-Hazard Approach, Applied to Linear Infrastructure [GETI: Indice GEologico-geoTecnico per la Valutazione dei Rischi Naturali con un Approccio Multi-Pericolosità, Applicato alle Infrastrutture Lineari]
… applicata alle infrastrutture lineari, in particolare ponti e viadotti stradali e autostradali. GETI utilizza un Modello Grafico Probabilistico (PGM), che combina la Rete Bayesiana (BN) e l’Analisi degli Alberi dei Guasti (FTA) per valutare la pericolosità sismica e i suoi …

Description and Quantification of Debris Tongue Movement in a Retrogressive Thaw Slump Using Aerial and Terrestrial Photogrammetry
… the landscape and pose a significant threat to linear infrastructure in the Arctic. There is little published information on how retrogressive thaw slump debris tongues develop. This thesis demonstrates a novel technique for combining information acquired from near-monthly structure-from-motion …

Exploring the eco-hydrological and predator movement effects of floating roads in the context of forest to bog restoration in the Flow Country
The global network of linear infrastructure is expanding worldwide as demand for resources increases. Yet the effects of linear infrastructure on the components of ecosystems is poorly understood. Even less is known about if and how these effects could be reversed through removal of roads for …

Propuesta de modelo para la evaluación de la sostenibilidad en la dirección integrada de proyectos de ingeniería civil
… consider certain criteria for sustainability in infrastructure projects. This thesis focuses on the mode of application of sustainability through an indicator system. As a fundamental challenge it is marked to propose a methodology to identify, prioritize and select indicators and the most …

Barrier Effects Of Roads And Traffic On Animal Occurrence, Space Use, And Movements
Habitat fragmentation and destruction caused by linear infrastructure, including roads, railways, and power line corridors, are recognized as major threats to biodiversity around the world. Roads can act as barriers by impeding animal movement and restricting animal space use. An understanding of …

EFFECT OF MAJOR FACTORS ON BIOSWALE PERFORMANCE AND HYDROLOGIC PROCESSES FOR THE CONTROL OF STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM HIGHWAYS
… management and control of stormwater runoff from linear infrastructure such as highways. Many factors affect the performance of bioswales for stormwater volume reduction. The ratio of the installed BMP area to its service drainage area, characteristics of precipitation and the amount of sediment …

The glacial and periglacial history of a Middle Pleistocene ice-margin of the British Ice Sheet (BIS) in north Buckinghamshire, England and its influence on geotechnical variability
… in the design and operation of new and existing linear infrastructure. Temporal and spatial variability in Quaternary, cold-climate processes, including deposition and weathering of glacigenic sediments and bedrock, subglacial drainage and permafrost development, has resulted in abrupt lateral …

Modelling uncertainty of cost and time in infrastructure projects
The construction of infrastructure projects is characterised by cost overruns and time delays. Scholars view that the estimation approach and inappropriate tools and techniques used to forecast possible uncertainty in the construction processes are a primary cause of cost overruns and time delays …
