Thousands of rock cuts have been made through the development of highway and railway systems in the tri-state. Rock cuts have the potential to create hazards to the public and /or require high railway and highway maintenance costs. The project will use technologies, such as GPS, laser scanner, electromagnetic induction and GIS to evaluate and monitor rock slopes. Current evaluation methods, and available data on rock slopes in the two states will be reviewed, and summarized. A knowledge management system including use of GIS and a data collection system with state of the art instrumentation will be proposed.
