Feasibility of InSAR for Continuous Monitoring of Ground Deformation and Performance Tracking of Geotechnical Assets
In Minnesota, ground movements (e.g., landslides, land subsidence, etc.) have led to significant damage and disruption to the state’s highway network. These geohazards can lead to lane closures, traffic delays, and emergency repairs. The objective of this research is to develop an automated warning system that can alert Minnesota Department o Transportation (MnDOT) staff of areas where abnormal ground deformation (e.g., landslides, subsidence, and sinkholes) is occurring along Minnesota interstate highways, allowing them to proactively intervene. While predicting these types of events beforehand is difficult, continuous, and accurate monitoring of ground deformation along roads is crucial to identify higher risk areas before they develop into major failures.
