The SMART PROTECT project (2019–2022) is a R&D booster project granted by the Région Auvergne Rhône–Alpes. The project is coordinated by Géolithe Innov, a French company specialized in the innovation in Geotechnics. The partners are Géolithe, Irstea and Myotis. The aim of the project is to design and validate a new type of protection structures against rockfall and avalanches. The role of the TRIPOP team is to propose a numerical modeling of the structure and to improve the link between simulations and wireless sensors, which will equip the structure.
