Abstract
In recent years, railways have suffered frequent damage from landslides due to natural slopes adjoining tracks. Checking the stability of all trackside slopes however would be immensely time consuming and expensive. Developing a practicable and viable method to manage such natural slopes is therefore important. This paper quantified the factors relating to landslides such as geomorphologic features and vegetation, using a digital elevation model and a digital surface model. These evaluation factors were then applied to identify potential landslide locations.
