Flood susceptibility assessment for improving the resilience capacity of railway infrastructure networks (2024)
Journal Article

Floods often cause significant damage to transportation infrastructure such as roads, railways, and bridges. This study identifies several topographic, environmental, and hydrological factors (slope, elevation, rainfall, land use and cover, distance...

The design and validation of a decision support system (DSS) for the preliminary risk assessment of brownfield sites (PRABS) (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose
This study aims to design and validate a decision support system (DSS), named preliminary risk assessment of brownfield sites (PRABS). It is intended that the proposed DSS will aid the identification of potential hazards and, in doing so, hi...
