A concurrent approach for infrastructure monitoring and risks prevention using space, aerial and ground measurements

There is an urgent need to assess the condition of transport network in many countries all over the world as in Italy and, in this context, the consideration of non-destructive techniques has particular importance. These techniques, such as space-born systems, laser scanners, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and monitoring tests, provide valuable data but have limitations in assessing specific aspects of the infrastructure. This research aims to overcome these limitations by using a "data fusion" approach to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the asset's condition. The ongoing project "EXTRA-TN" focuses on road infrastructures selected as case-studies, located in Salerno (Italy), utilizing the various aforementioned methods. This integrated approach aims to enhance infrastructure resilience, provide valuable information for maintenance scheduling, and monitor both external and internal factors affecting safety and functionality.
