Recent Research and Development on Disaster Prevention Technology

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the impact of climate change on Japanʼs weather and introduces some of the research being conducted by RTRI in this regard. In line with our research plan "RESEARCH2025," we are working on developing the following areas of research: a high precision operation control system applying observation data, and an evaluation method for the stability of slopes after heavy rain. We will develop technologies to improve the resilience of railways against disasters using a variety of types of digital information.
