Flood Detection Solution

Whitemud Underpass Detection System

Recent Extreme Weather Events in Alberta

• “Infrastructure (such as buildings,

roads, bridges, pipelines and electricity transmission) is generally sensitive to gradual changes in temperature and precipitation patterns…

• …Extreme weather events can

easily overwhelm the capacity of infrastructure.” – Alberta.ca

Financial Impacts

• Between 1983 and 2008, Alberta averaged around

$100 million a year in catastrophic losses due to

extreme events (hailstorms, wildfire, flooding, etc.).

This value increased substantially starting in 2009.

• Alberta averaged $673 million a year in insured

losses from extreme weather events from 2009 to 2012.

• According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada,

Alberta has experienced the 2 most costly

disasters in the country's history with the Fort

McMurray wildfires at $3.58 billion and the 2013 southern Alberta floods at $1.7 billion.

CHALLENGE

• Since the year 2000, underpass locations on Whitemud

Drive have become severely flooded during storms on at least three documented occasions.

• Drainage specialists estimate there is a 20-percent

chance of flooding per year, as the pipe system below the Whitemud is only built to sustain a one-in-five-year storm.

• There are five underpasses along Whitemud Drive that

have been identified as high-risk locations, including the 106th Street overpass - where a total of 10 drivers were rescued with lifeboats during a storm in July of 2016.

TRUCK CONFLICT APPLICATION

AUTOMATED QUEUE WARNING (AQW)

AQW

Based on real-time traffic data, Queue Detection and Warning Systems automatically inform travelers of the presence of downstream stop-and-go traffic with the use of message signs positioned upstream. The benefit is that motorists can anticipate the upcoming situation and the result is the reduced rear-end collisions. Successful applications have seen a reduction of up to 70% in rear-end collisions.

TRAVEL TIME / ALTERNATE ROUTES

TRAVEL TIME / ALTERNATE ROUTES

Travel Time and Alternate Route applications are continuously updated automatically to provide current travel time or length

• f delay time between the driver’s location and a specific

destination downstream. The benefit is the motoring public is informed and can make alternate route decisions. It also prevents long unexpected backups and potential read-end collisions.

Asset Attribution - Manufacturing

Asset Attribution - LiDAR

➔ Unique ID generated for each sign ➔ Location (Latitude and Longitude, in decimal degrees) ➔ Support Type: Wood, Square, U-Channel, I-Beam, Bridge, Cantilever, Signal Post etc… ➔ Image of sign ➔ Date of imagery ➔ Cardinal Direction the sign faces ➔ Sign Classification (Regulatory, Warning, Guide, etc) ➔ Sign Type/Code (example: RA-1 for Stop Sign) ➔ Sign Location (left, right, median, overhead) ➔ Measured height of sign ➔ Measured width of sign ➔ Vertical clearance from ground ➔ Distance from road edge ➔ Sheeting Type ➔ Color of sign background (predominant if multiple) ➔ Color of Text

Asset Attribution – Install/Inspection

➔ Installer/Inspector ➔ Install Date ➔ Support Type: Wood, Square, U-Channel, I-Beam, Bridge, Cantilever, Signal Post etc… ➔ Sign Mounting Hardware Type/s ➔ Image of sign ➔ Sign Condition Reporting ➔ Retroreflectivity ➔ Direction Sign Faces ➔ Distance from curb ➔ Height from ground
