Abstract | This article presents a case study on the risk assessment of geohazards along Cheng-Kun railway line. Cheng-Kun railway passes through a region of highly varied elevation and faults and the operation of Cheng-Kun railway has been frequently interrupted owing to geological disasters. A hybrid method via integrating triangular fuzzy number (TFN) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (here after simply call TFN-AHP) into a geographic information system (GIS) is employed in this study to perform the geohazards assessment. The assessment results showed that TFN-AHP with GIS can effectively predict the distribution of geohazards risk in the study region within the last 10 years. The results also showed that the TFN-AHP method is more efficient in identifying high-risk areas compared with using original AHP. Based on the assessment results, prospective management measures to prevent risk are recommended. |
