Surface Deformation Monitoring of a Section of Gongyu Expressway Based on SBAS-InSAR Technology

Abstract

It is difficult to monitor the surface deformation along the expressway for the critical climate conditions in Tibet plateau. In this paper, based on sentinel-1A SAR data, the surface deformation along the Gongyu expressway was tried to evaluate using time-series SBAS-InSAR method. The results indicate that the surface deformation in most regions is within the safe acquirement of the expressway. Moreover, the surface deformation indicates a strong seasonal effect. Finally, two special spots with dangerous surface deformation are identified along the expressway.
