Ensembling SATellite monitoring and BIM methods in the SAFety assEssment of road infrastructure

The purpose of this project is to explore new technologies that can advance the state-of-the-practice in structural health monitoring of existing infrastructures. A dual scale analysis will be proposed. At large extent, the MT-InSAR approach will be able to detect both the ground deformations phenomena occurring over the study area and displacements/deformations for the whole asset of road infrastructures. A map depicting the behaviour of the whole road network will be produce and, based on critical situation, a case study selected for successive investigation and assessment of structural safety based on the joint use of a building information model (BIM) after scanning the structure (scan-to-BIM domain) and displacements from the MT-InSAR analysis. The proposed approach open the way to the effective long-term monitoring of road infrastructures with assessment of structural safety of road infrastructures and following an approach to maintenance based on the predictive paradigm, able to promote actions before major damage can occur. Moreover, outcomes are relevant to what established by Mission 3 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) “Infrastructures for sustainable mobility” and provide potential improvements to the safety and resilience of road infrastructures through technological innovations, in accordance with the National Road Safety Plan 2030 (Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility).
