Monitoring deformations of infrastructure networks: A fully automated GIS integration and analysis of InSAR time-series

Ageing stock and extreme weather events pose a threat to the safety of infrastructure networks. In most countries, funding allocated to infrastructure management is insufficient to perform systematic inspections over large transport networks. As a result, early signs of distress can develop unnoticed, potentially leading to catastrophic...

Multi-Temporal InSAR for transport infrastructure monitoring: Recent trends and challenges

Worldwide, transport infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to aging-induced deterioration and climate-related hazards. Often, inspection and maintenance costs far exceed the available resources, and numerous assets lack any rigorous structural evaluation. Space-borne synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is a powerful remote...

Reply to Lanari, R., et al. comment on “pre-collapse space geodetic observations of critical infrastructure: The morandi bridge, Genoa, Italy” by Milillo et al. (2019)

We would like to thank our colleagues for their comment, as we believe that this discussion further highlights the importance of innovative research in the emerging field of InSAR applications to civil engineering structures. We discuss the statement from Lanari et al. (2020): “Our analysis shows that, although both the SBAS and the TomoSAR...
