Highway Deformation Monitoring by Multiple InSAR Technology.

Addressing the challenge of large-scale uneven deformation and the complexities of monitoring road conditions, this study focuses on a segment of the G15 Coastal Highway in Jiangsu Province. It employs PS-InSAR, SBAS-InSAR, and DS-InSAR techniques to comprehensively observe deformation. Analysis of 73 image datasets spanning 2018 to 2021 enables separate derivation of deformation data using distinct InSAR methodologies. Results are then interpreted alongside geological and geomorphological features. Findings indicate widespread deformation along the G15 Coastal Highway, notably significant settlement near Guanyun North Hub and uplift near Guhe Bridge. Maximum deformation rates exceeding 10 mm/year are observed in adjacent areas by all three techniques. To assess data consistency across techniques, identical observation points are identified, and correlation and difference analyses are conducted using statistical software. Results reveal a high correlation between the monitoring outcomes of the three techniques, with an average observation difference of less than 2 mm/year. This underscores the feasibility of employing a combination of these InSAR techniques for road deformation monitoring, offering a reliable approach for establishing real-time monitoring systems and serving as a foundation for ongoing road health assessments.
