Landslide hazard

The data set presents the risk to the rail infrastructure due to landslides spatially differentiated. This product of the landslide hazard is the result of the research project “Establishment of an engineering geological hazard warning map on slope and embankment slides along the German rail network” of the Federal Railway Authority as part of the work of the BMVI expert network in the field of climate change impacts and adaptation (bmvi-expert network.de). The factual information and hazard classes shall be provided exclusively for the area of rail infrastructure. Data base for this is the data set ‘geo-route’ (as of 01/2017), which is provided by Deutsche Bahn (DB) under the license Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) (http://data.deutschebahn.com/dataset/geo-strecke). The potential hazard ranges and buffers (0 m and 50 m) in relation to hazard classes greater than or equal to 10) (see final report “Establishment of an engineering geological hazard information map on slope and embankment slides along the German rail network” — Railway Federal Office: 11vb/018-0099#22; P. 100). The attribute “Gef_ber” was added and divided into three classes into areas of the hazard class >= 10, the direct influence range (0) and a buffer of 50 m (50) were taken into account. Areas with a lower calculated hazard class or outside the buffer are encoded with ‘999’.
