14 Risk Assessment for the Twenty-First Century
• evaluate the premature failure of a structure.
The link between the context of space or drone observation “rich data” and the
risk assessment platform uses Bayesian updates of probabilities, frequencies and
other selected parameters to distill the data used in the risk assessment. Connecting a
dynamic quantitative risk analysis platform with a high-performance data gathering
technique reduces costs, avoids blunders, and constitutes a healthy management
practice, especially for long-term projects requiring short- or long-term monitoring,
including, of course, site restorations.
