Road, rail and energy: networks
Linear infrastructure
The challenge
Road, rail and power-line operators manage vast land holdings along their networks, with high ecological value and real maintenance costs — and the need to control operational risks such as invasive or hazardous vegetation.
The method
Satellite imagery, regulatory data and observation databases are combined into a reference "data cube": proximity to Natura 2000 and ZNIEFF zones, invasive species, biodiversity indicators and candidate areas for each objective.
The results
Land-use scenarios combining cost, biodiversity and risk indicators, with the development solutions applicable to each area — a micro and macro view to build and adapt the strategy.
