Natural and man-made rock slopes are frequent along the railroad linking Port-Cartier to Fermont. The aim of the ParaChute research project is to integrate various technologies into a workflow for rockfall characterization along linear infrastructures (including roads) and to test its application along a portion of 260 km of this railroad. Our work will focus around different objectives: (1) to optimize the use of terrestrial, mobile and airborne laser scanners data into terrain analysis, structural geology analysis and rock fall susceptibility rating, (2) to further develop the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for photogrammetry applied to rock cliff characterization, (3) to integrate rockfall simulation studies into a rock slope classification system similar to the Rockfall Hazard Rating System and (4) to consider climate change impact on mass movements. With this paper we want to share our approach and preliminary results.
