산을 깎아 만든 도로는 비탈면 붕괴 위험에 노출된다. 국내에는 3만 여 개의 깎기 비탈면이 있고, 최고 5등급 중 4등급 이상 지역이 2021년 기준 1371개 이다. 현재 비탈면 관리 방식은 위험으로 판단된 비탈면에 지표변위계나 경사계를 설치하고 위치 변화량이 미리 정해 놓은 기준을 넘는 때에만 조치를 취하는 수동 접근에 머물고 있어 사전 붕괴 예측과 신속한 대응에 있어 한계가 있다. DRT의 급경사지 붕괴 예측 시스템은 ‘땅은 아래로 이동한다’라는 단순한 진리에서 출발하여, 지속적인 실험과 연구를 통해 완성된 기술로, 과거 붕괴 이력 데이터에 적용하여 그 효과가 검증되었다. 붕괴를 예측하여 대피시간을 확보함으로써 인명과 재산 피해를 줄이는 데 앞장 서고자 한다.

계측이란 이상징후(tell-tale signs)의 사전 파악에 주목적이 있다. 사면의 변화를 정확히 인식하기 위해서는 사용하는 센서를 사용해 획득된 데이터 변화의 의미가 분명해야 하며, 사면 거동의 일반적인 패턴을 이해하지 못하면 센서 수치의 판독(readings)을 제대로 해석할 수 없다. 본 논문은 산사태 조기 예‧경보에 전 세계적으로 사용되는 신축계(Extensometer) 데이터의 프로세싱 혁신에 그 목적이 있다. 현재의 경간 중심 분석은 실체적 사면 거동(Slope movements) 파악에 심각한 오류를 야기하고 있다. 말뚝 간 와이어로 연결된 경간 길이(Span length) 변화는 임의 두 지점 간 변동양상에 관한 분절된 정보(Fragmented information)에 불과할 뿐, 실제적인 개별 말뚝의 이동량과는 전혀 동떨어진 결과를 초래함을 확인할 수 있었다. 시‧공간(Spatiotemporal) 기반 특성 알고리즘을 활용, 관측 대상 모든 점의 이동을 추적함으로써, 경간 길이에 절대적으로 의존하고 있는 현재의 위험 판단 인식모형(Cognitive model)을 재평가하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 실체적 거동의 신뢰성을 높이며, 변상 진행에 따른 의사결정 한계를 극복함으로써 위기 대처능력을 한층 더 고양 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
