Murgangsgeehrdung (debris evacuation)

The data set presents the risk to the rail infrastructure caused by debris flows in a spatially differentiated manner. This product of the debris flow hazard is the result of the research project "Analysis of fast water-containing mass movements: Nationwide investigations on the exposure of the German rail network and modelling the spatial spread" of the Federal Railway Office in the context of the work of the BMDV expert network in the field of climate change effects and adaptation (bmdv-expert network.de). The factual information and hazard classes are provided exclusively for the rail infrastructure sector. The data basis for this is the data set “geo-strecke” (as of 10/2019), which is provided by Deutsche Bahn (DB) under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license (http://data.deutschebahn.com/dataset/geo-strecke). The potential risk areas of the rail infrastructure of small, medium and large potential simulated events are presented (see the final report of the project on the dzsf website (www.dzsf.bund.de)). The hazard attribute distinguishes these three hazard classes (1 = small event, 2 = medium event, 3 = large event) and 0 = no hazard and 99 = tunnel. The following applies to the size of the simulated cubatures: <100 m3: small event 100-1000 m3: mean event ≥ 1000 m3: large event The record does not represent the probability of occurrence of the events. Existing protective measures and thus secured areas were not taken into account in the modelling.
