Resources

  • DEM Weissfluhjoch

    Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of validation test site Weissfluhjoch with a grid resolution of 2 cm. The DEM for test site Chant Sura can be found in the linked dataset.

  • Release Points

    Release points used in the validation simulations of both study sites. Use the *.txt files as input for the simulator.

    Release Points

  • Rock Pointclouds

    Rock point clouds of EOTA and Real Equant shapes

  • Roughness Index Rasters

    Roughness index rasters used for the validation simulations. They have a resolution of 3 m.

  • Sample Simulation

    This dataset contains a small sample simulation to showcase the recommended folder/file structure to run rockfall simulations. The input parameters for the simulation can be changed in the XML file, which is then also used as input for the rockfall simulator.
