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 of 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.
