Use Cases - Environmental Resilience

Advancing knowledge and understanding of natural hazards and developing novel risk assessment methods is a core part of the SpaceTimeAi research agenda. SpaceTimeAi is one of 11 partners in INFRARISK, a European Commission project that aims to test the resilience of critical infrastructure networks to a variety of natural hazards (www.infrarisk-fp7.eu).

Spotlight

Random Forest, a decision tree based algorithm, is used to predict landslide susceptibility and type in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. A combination of features is used, including soil classification, slope, rainfall, land use and topographic wetness. Susceptibility and classification maps are combined to identify parts of the road network that are highly susceptible to the most damaging types of landslide.
