Cut Slope Management System(CSMS) is a systematic maintenance and management system designed to prevent the collapse of cut slopes located along national roads. In order to implement safe road operation system, KICT has started the inventory of cut slopes and developed a cut slope database since 2006. Cut slope database management system using GIS technology and navigation system was developed as a Information Technology application. Through the Cut Slope Navigation System(SLOPE-Navi.), the previously developed database was checked and verified. The converted cut slope inventory data and field investigation data of 28,707 cut slopes were loaded on the navigation map. We consider that the Cut Slope Navigation Management System can be useful as in-situ system, which can be systematic and effective DB management and operation to prevent cut slope collapses and establish a remedial countermeasure as mitigation concerning disasters.

The failure of the road cut-slope due to heavy rains brings about lots of injuries and damage on national properties. KICT has developed CSMS system by means of prevention to manage the dangerous cut slopes. In spite of the continuous management the frequency of cut-slopes failure is increasing the past due to changes of earth-environment. KICT has installed the "Real-Time Monitoring System" on dangerous slopes. The operation of Real-Time Monitoring System is used as a positive system to reduce injuries and damages. However, Although the slope manager is aware of the signs collapsed in advance, it has temporal and spatial limits until the slope manager performs the works which are preventing the accidents. When real time monitoring system finds out an indication of slope collapse, the Rock-fall Signal Lamp System makes road-users indicated the risk of cut slopes. It is a kind of prevention system that it will minimize the damages of the properties as suspension of traffic automatically or passively.
