A framework of early warning and emergency systems for highway natural disasters

Abstract

The recent frequency of major geological disasters caused major concern about the construction of systems for early warning and emergency for highway natural hazards. This paper presents a conceptual framework of such a system based on remote sensing technology through aerospace, aviation and ground monitoring. The system consists of three main components: highway geological disasters sub-system, highway meteorological and hydrological disasters sub-system, and highway ecological environment disasters sub-system.
