3 Example: Riprap on I-64 TRB 2016 Workshop 879-3

4 Example: Bridge settlement TRB 2016 Workshop 879-4

5 Toolbox: Bridge settlement WARNING: at or over 1 inch/year (yellow)* CRITICAL: at or over.5 inch/month (red)* These thresholds can be user selected *Source: Todd Springer, PE; VDOT Bridge Maintenance Program Manager TRB 2016 Workshop 879-5

6 Example: Rock slope stability and failure mode Field Conditions Low-angle Wedge Failures Broad Failure Mode ESRI ArcMap10.0, Niemann raw data, Bruckno DEM, VAGISP Base TRB 2016 Workshop 879-6

9 Example: Rock slope stability and failure mode TRB 2016 Workshop 879-9

10 Toolbox: Analysis of trend in displacement This is based on Theil-Sen linear trend detection algorithm. Route 600 slope (using SqueeSAR data in 2014) [Red = critical, Yellow = warning, Green = safe]* *Thresholds were chosen to match field observations of Brian Bruckno, Ph.D., P.G., VDOT TRB 2016 Workshop

11 Toolbox: Pavement smoothness analysis The smoothness value of an area indicates the uniformity of displacements for InSAR displacements on the road. Graph signal processing method *Thresholds were chosen to best separate (Very Poor, Poor) from (Fair, Good) from Excellent in CCI TRB 2016 Workshop

12 Model-based analysis: Subsidence/sinkholes Given a model: 2 g(x,t) = a t e -(x-x 0 ) 2 s 2 Find regions behaving as the defined model Subsidence TRB 2016 Workshop

13 Subsidence analysis at different levels Slide 13 TRB 2016 Workshop

14 Example: Detection of unmapped sinkholes Vesuvius Sinkhole Summer 2012 /Fall 2012 (Hoppe) TRB 2016 Workshop

15 Integration of InSAR data into stormwater design VDOT Plans TRB 2016 Workshop

16 Integration of InSAR data into stormwater design ESRI ArcMap10.0, TRE Dataset, VAGISP Base TRB 2016 Workshop

17 Integration of InSAR data into stormwater design Google Earth Pro, TRE dataset, DMME VA Data, VADEQ Data, VDOT Plans TRB 2016 Workshop
