This article presents a case study of the early warning monitoring system made to prevent or reduce risks in case of rock mass deformation and consequent rockfalls. A sever rockfall in November 2022 occurred and destroyed part of the national road n. 18 “Tirrena Inferiore” in Southern Italy, whom surveillance and maintenance are operated by ANAS SpA (Gruppo Fs Italiane), the Italian leading Concessionaire of national road and motorway network. ANAS SpA, in cooperation with other national and local authorities, accomplished to rebuild the road body and to mitigate the hazard. To enhance traffic safety and ensure the functionality of the protection structures, ANAS activated the onsite surveillance and implemented a remote real-time monitoring activity of the slope movement integrated with automatic real time early warning systems using a software that identifies settlements and/or displacements exceeding the threshold limits and sends an e-mail alert.

Abstract
This article presents a case study of the early warning monitoring system made to prevent or reduce risks in case of rock mass deformation and consequent rockfalls. A sever rockfall in November 2022 occurred and destroyed part of the national road n. 18 “Tirrena Inferiore” in Southern Italy, whom surveillance and maintenance are operated by ANAS SpA (Gruppo Fs Italiane), the Italian leading Concessionaire of national road and motorway network. ANAS SpA, in cooperation with other national and local authorities, accomplished to rebuild the road body and to mitigate the hazard. To enhance traffic safety and ensure the functionality of the protection structures, ANAS activated the onsite surveillance and implemented a remote real-time monitoring activity of the slope movement integrated with automatic real time early warning systems using a software that identifies settlements and/or displacements exceeding the threshold limits and sends an e-mail alert.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
