Transportation networks are severely affected by natural hazards, including landslides. The
prioritization of maintenance works is required to preserve the efficiency and functionality of …

This study aimed to compare a handheld mobile laser scanning (HMLS), called TORCH that
uses the SLAM algorithm, and a PPK-integrated close-range terrestrial photogrammetry …

Road pavements need adequate maintenance to ensure that their conditions are kept in a
good state throughout their lifespans. For this to be possible, authorities need efficient and …

The rapid development of drone technologies, such as unmanned aerial systems (UASs)
and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has led to the widespread application of three …

Deformation monitoring is an important component of the construction process and
maintenance. Conventional point-wise surveying methods, however, tend to be time …

This case study focuses on the area of El Plateado near the city of Loja, Ecuador, where
landslides with a high impact on infrastructures require monitoring and control. The main …

This paper deals with the use of aerial photogrammetry and LiDAR techniques to analyze
landslide activity over a long time span—just over 32 years. The data correspond to several …

Gully erosion is one of the main processes of soil degradation, representing 50%–90% of
total erosion at basin scales. Thus, its precise characterization has received growing …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose a method for vulnerable pedestrians to
visualize potential obstacles on sidewalks. In recent years, the number of vulnerable …

Coal production in opencast mining generates substantial waste materials, which are
typically delivered to an on-site waste dump. As a large artificial loose pile, such dumps …
