DESCRIPTION:Ground instability can cause severe damage to infrastructure an
 d the environment. Falling rocks can destroy roads\, pipes\, and buildings
  and even endanger citizens. In recent years\, a continuous increase in th
 e intensity and frequency of ground stability phenomena has been observed\
 , with a clear relationship to human activity and climate change.\nAdvance
 d technological solutions for monitoring and forecasting instability offer
  the opportunity to prevent disasters by monitoring ground movement phenom
 ena to detect potential hazards in time.\nRheticus Safeland is the wide-ar
 ea continuous monitoring service designed to enable agencies to effectivel
 y collect\, visualize and monitor land instability for better management a
 nd planning of soil protection activities.\nThe Rheticus Safeland service 
 is used in various sectors\, from utilities to road infrastructures to Pub
 lic Administrations\, which\, thanks to this product\, can observe vast ar
 eas such as Regions or Districts.\nRheticus Safeland's in-depth analysis c
 omprehensively traces any ground movement and slope instability in the are
 a of interest. This timely information provides valuable assistance in pla
 nning campaigns to prevent and mitigate land instability risks.\nIn Italy\
 , the Geological Service of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region monitors and 
 prevents risks from hydrogeological instability phenomena\, using informat
 ion from Rheticus Safeland.\nThe mountainous areas of the Friuli Venezia G
 iulia region are particularly susceptible to geological hazards\, includin
 g landslides and sinkholes. They are prone to slope instability and sites 
 of geological weakness\, such as fault zones\, shear zones\, and weak rock
  or mineral strata. The region\, therefore\, needed\, on the one hand\, a 
 solution to continuously collect\, visualize and analyze data on unstable 
 areas. On the other hand\, it needed to monitor ground movement affecting 
 buildings and roads to protect citizens from danger and avoid increased co
 sts and delays in new developments.\nTo help the Friuli Venezia Giulia Reg
 ion\, Planetek developed Rheticus® Safeland\, a vertical geoinformation s
 ervice that continuously tracks ground movements via satellite radar inter
 ferometry. Satellite radar data are a reliable source of information. They
  are ideal for this task because they are readily available\, continuously
  updated\, and allow users to identify trends in ground movements with pin
 point accuracy.\n\nRheticus Safeland has enabled the Geological Survey to 
 collect and provide detailed information for buildings and transport infra
 structure\, allowing engineers\, planners\, and other users to analyze gro
 und movement phenomena over time with great accuracy. The comprehensive pi
 cture provided by the Rheticus Safeland service gives planners the knowled
 ge to prioritize risk mitigation measures\, make better decisions and proa
 ctively avoid critical issues that arise when ongoing phenomena are not fu
 lly understood.\nThe Rheticus service platform was awarded the World Smart
  City Award because it made satellite information accessible to everyone. 
 Users do not need any knowledge or experience with satellite radar data\, 
 interferometry\, or GIS applications. Interpreting this data usually requi
 res considerable technical expertise\, and the results can be difficult fo
 r non-experts to understand.\n\nRheticus Safeland has solved this problem 
 by simplifying the complex information gathered from the analysis of radar
  data. Clear studies and an intuitive dashboard interface combine maps\, r
 eports\, and dynamic geo-analysis into one intelligent application that pr
 ovides valuable information.\nComplex\, multi-source data is automatically
  processed by the platform\, so users can focus on what they do best: obse
 rving\, tracking\, and managing the territory to ensure the safety of peop
 le and assets. With Rheticus Safeland\, these users get an accurate and co
 mplete territory overview with timely updates and dynamic analysis. After 
 implementation\, the Geological Survey of the Autonomous Region of Friuli 
 Venezia Giulia significantly reduced the time and costs associated with tr
 aditional land image collection and ongoing software development.
