Description
Underpasses, where quickly accumulating water can cause seriously dangerous situations for passing vehicles, are among the most vulnerable infrastructures in case of intense rain, which are becoming more and more frequent due to climate change. The monitoring and alarm systems we offer aim to timely warn of a flooding of the underpass and consequently to stop passage by activating the relevant signs (variable message panels, traffic lights, etc.). The traffic is stopped automatically, without needing to pass through a central control centre, when the hydrometric thresholds set by the authorities are exceeded. The risk of false alarms is minimised by the contemporaneous presence of several sensors and a webcam for visual monitoring. Systems are ready to be interfaced with operating machines, such as electric pumps, in order to monitor their operation and proper disposal of surface water.

- Rain intensity and accumulation
- Hydrometric level
- Presence/absence of water
Case history


CIVIL DEFENSE OF ABRUZZO
Recent climate changes have led to more and more frequent extreme weather events which cause significant difficulties in disposing rapidly of large quantities of water hitting the ground. Vehicular underpasses are particularly vulnerable, since water accumulation may cause dangerous situations for pedestrians and occupants of passing vehicles. The Abruzzo Region therefore decided to start a pilot project to mitigate this water risk. This project, funded by the IPA Adriatic Cooperation Program and by the POR-FESR Abruzzo program 2007/2013 Axis IV ... continue
PROVINCE OF REGGIO EMILIA
The underpass in via Contea (on the Provincial Road S.P. 51), in the Municipality of Rubiera, has shown some water run-off problems during highly intense raining events which are every day more frequent because of climate change; the evidence of this is the bad weather that, on February 2016, caused several damages all over the province of Reggio Emilia. For this reason, with a view to ongoing improvement in the road network, the Administration decided that the subway in question ... continue
