Our Infrastructure Brazilian toll road business, Arteris, has implemented a platform for landslide alerts based on rainfall history and the physical characteristics of the slopes, in partnership with MeteoIA.

The alerts are categorized by the probability of each individual slope sliding, anticipating the occurrence of accidents by up to 10 days. The platform provides Arteris' team enough time to prepare, plan and take engineering and/or operational action to deal with the slopes, along its road concessions, on alert, reducing the chances of an accident occurring. 

By reducing the impact of landslides on the highway, the safety of users and communities near the roadways is improved and the destruction of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation and contamination of water is reduced.

The tool was recently implemented at all roads and the project received a special award from the regulator, highlighting its success. These measures illustrate the robust focus on asset reliability and availability that exists across our portfolio today.
