Análisis de riesgo por movimientos en masa, mediante vehículos aéreos no tripulados (Drones) y GPS de Precisión, en el sector del río Monjas al Nororiente del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to analyze the susceptibility of landslide in the surroundings of the Las Monjas River, in addition to verifying the usefulness of drone and GPS technologies, to carry it out a drone was used that allowed us to take approximately 80 aerial photographs for each flight, later a differential GPS was used for which 8 control points and a base were placed in order to collect the data at those points and finally both the data obtained from the GPS and the photographs obtained in the drone were processed to obtain the Model Surface Digital and together with the coordinates to be able to create a speed model that allows us to better see the behavior that the soil of the study area is having, for which the present work turns out to be of great importance due to the incidence of the landslides in the city, for these reasons, in sectors next to the ravines and slopes, prevention actions are recommended for the which must have their respective studies in order to identify the areas susceptible to this type of instabilities and provide true information to the population and to the competent agencies that can help reduce the effects of this phenomenon.
