In response, ETS company has developed and implemented an integrated approach MIRETS Hydrogeological Mapping based on mobile surveys, geospatial analysis and information modelling, with a particular emphasis on detailed geomorphological mapping and risk assessment. This approach can directly support the evaluation of landslides and geomorphological elements by the Italian Guidelines for the classification and management of risk, safety assessment, and monitoring of existing bridges (HCPW, 2022a) and tunnels (HCPW, 2022b). These guidelines define a multi-level framework for risk classification, including specific modules for landslide and hydraulic risks. The methodology presented follows: (i) detailed geomorphological and hydrogeological assessment of the infrastructure context from MIRETS Hydrogeological Mapping; (ii) diagnostics of major construction works, like tunnels, integrating survey data from mobile mapping system (ARCHITA) and analysis using artificial intelligence to detect anomalies and degradation patterns in tunnel structures (MIRET-Tunnel AI); (iii) integration of (i) and (ii) for the classification of risk levels and criticalities based on national standards. This high-level, systemic approach enhances the prioritization of interventions, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability. The case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of combining advanced mapping, AI-driven diagnostics, and regulatory-aligned risk classification to support resilient and informed decision-making for railway infrastructure.
