I-Pro MoNaLISa
(Integrated Procedure for MoNitoring of Linear Infrastructures Safety) is a
project aimed at supporting structural health assessments for linear
infrastructures, and related man-made artefacts such as bridges, viaducts, etc,
based on the use of remote sensing technologies. Satellite-based monitoring
systems, represents a viable source of independent information products to
detect movements of the Earth surface which can affect the analyzed
infrastructures. I-Pro MoNaLISa is devoted to evaluate, through an accurate
Differential SAR interferometry processing, possible critical sections where in
situ controls are needed. These information could be adopted by the in-charge
authorities and public administrations as a decision-making support tool to
improve the efficiency of the monitoring of linear infrastructures in their
exercise phase as well as of risk management for those areas affected by
deformation which can interact with their safety. Specifically, thanks to
satellite-based deformation measurements, obtained through radar images
processing, it provides an alert system for:
a) directing technician
verification in-situ,
b) planning of
maintenance and rehabilitations,
c) structural health
assessments;
d) emergency management,
e) support public
administrations and highway and railway authorities.
Such kind of system would
represent a great innovation in the actual Italian control system, based on
visual inspections for anomalies detection, demanded to technicians. I-Pro
MoNaLISa aims at reducing the long time-lapse between in-situ data collection
and information transfer to the operation center, being based on a database of
critical sections that the technicians can implement in situ real-time;
furthermore, not requesting any direct contact with the infrastructure, such
system can eliminate the necessity of lane closure and traffic disruption or
the preparation of the structure before the acquisition. In last years, early
response systems improvement turns out to be a key topic to avoid heavy social
and economic consequences of possible failures.
