imProved Accessibility: Reliability and security of Alpine transport infrastructure related to mountainous hazards in a changing climate
Durata: 01/09/2009 a 01/11/2012
Finanziato da: Alpine Space Programme 2007-2013
Budget: 2.033.000 Euro

Descrizione
As a result of climatic trends, the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural hazards has increased, but transport and accessibility need to be secure and ensured in the Alps. Within the framework of PARAmount, existing tools and practices for assessing avalanches, rock fall and debris flow were improved and tools on the visualization of natural hazard impacts were developed and assessed. In addition, hazard early warning systems were installed in the pilot areas, increasing the reliability of risk forecast.
The project established several risk dialogue groups with experts across the whole Alpine region.
