“…Extreme temperature changes are another major challenge for underground structures such as metro and railway tunnels. These infrastructural assets are located within a complex environment characterized by high temperature fluctuations, ranging from sub-zero freezing winters to scorching summers [9]. Such extreme fluctuations can adversely affect the materials and components used in the construction of these underground systems, leading to structural damage and reduced operational safety [10].…”

Globally, underground transport infrastructures in many countries face significant challenges owing to extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, extreme temperature changes, and rising sea levels. Consequently, it is critical to perform a comprehensive examination of the diverse effects of these climatic phenomena on underground transport infrastructures and their ability to mitigate such consequences. This study focuses on assessing the impact of climate change on underground transport infrastructures using innovative monitoring tools. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and do it yourself (DIY) drones will be deployed to monitor these assets to detect potential problems at an early stage. This approach involves collecting real-time data through WSNs and capturing high-quality images using drone flights. The objective is to achieve an efficient response to extreme weather events and to enhance our understanding of the impact of climate change on underground transport infrastructures.
