This study presents a deep-learning-based forecast model for spatial and temporal prediction of pluvial flooding. The developed model can produce the flooding situation for the upcoming time steps as a sequence of flooding maps. Thus, a dynamic overview of the forthcoming flooding situation is generated to support the decision of crisis management actors. The influence of different input data, data formats, and model setups on the prediction results was investigated. Data from multiple sources were considered as follows: precipitation information, spatial information, and an overflow forecast. In addition, models with different layers and network architectures such as convolutional layers, graph convolutional layers, or generative adversarial networks (GANs) were considered and evaluated. The data required to train and test the models were generated using a coupled hydrodynamic 1D/2D model. The model setup with the inclusion of all available input variables and an architecture with graph convolutional layers presented, in general, the best results in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and critical success index (CSI). The prediction results of the final model showed a high agreement with the simulation results of the hydrodynamic model, with drastic reductions in computation time, making this model suitable for integration into an early warning system for pluvial flooding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
