Abstract :
The recent frequency of major geological disasters caused major concern about the construction of systems for early warning and emergency for highway natural hazards. This paper presents a conceptual framework of such a system based on remote sensing technology through aerospace, aviation and ground monitoring. The system consists of three main components: highway geological disasters sub-system, highway meteorological and hydrological disasters sub-system, and highway ecological environment disasters sub-system.
