This analysis evaluates landslide risk in rock slopes using GNSS data, highlighting new prediction methods.
Progressive rock slope destabilization poses significant geohazard risks, necessitating advanced monitoring frameworks to detect precursory failure signals. This study presents a comprehensive time-dependent evaluation of the displacement probability (CTEDP) model, which integrates GNSS-derived spatiotemporal data with multi-parameter reliability indices to enhance landslide risk assessment. Five monitoring points on a destabilizing rock slope were analyzed from mid-November 2024 to early January 2025 using kinematic metrics (velocity, acceleration, and jerk), statistical measures (e.g., moving averages), and reliability indices (RI0, RI1, RI2, and RIcombined). Point 1 exhibited the most critical behavior, with a cumulative displacement of ~60 mm, peak velocities of 34.5 mm/day, and accelerations up to 1.15 mm/day2. The CTEDP for active points converged to 0.56–0.61, indicating sustained high risk. The 90th percentile displacement threshold was 58.48 mm for Point 1. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the GNSS-derived reliability indices dominated the RIcombined variance (r = 0.999, explaining 99.8% of variance). The first- and second-order reliability indices (RI1, RI2) at Point 1 exceeded the 60-index threshold, indicating a transition to Class B (“Low Risk—Trend Surveillance Required”) status, while other points showed coherent deformation of 37–45 mm. Results underscore the framework’s ability to integrate spatiotemporal displacement, kinematic precursors, and statistical variability for early-warning systems. This approach bridges gaps in landslide prediction by accounting for spatial heterogeneity and nonlinear geomechanical responses.
