How to use polygons or lines as exposure#

Contents#

Introduction#

Exposure in CLIMADA are usually represented as individual points or a raster of points. See Exposures tutorial to learn how to fill and use exposures. In this tutorial we show you how to run the impact calculation chain if you have polygons or lines to start with. The approach provides an all-in-one method for impact calculation: calc_geom_impact It features three sub-steps, for which the current util module lines_polys_handler also provides separate functions:

  1. Disaggregation of line and polygon data into point exposure:

    • Interpolate geometries to points to fit in an Exposure instance;

    • Disaggregate the respective geometry values to the point values

  2. Perform the impact calculation in CLIMADA with the point exposure

  3. Aggregate the calculated point Impact back to an impact instance for the initial polygons or lines

Quick example#

Get example polygons (provinces), lines (rails), points exposure for the Netherlands, and create one single Exposures. Get demo winter storm hazard and a corresponding impact function.

Polygons#

Polygons or shapes are a common geographical representation of countries, states etc. as for example in NaturalEarth. Map data, as for example buildings, etc. obtained from openstreetmap (see tutorial here), also frequently come as (multi-)polygons. Here we want to show you how to deal with exposure information as polygons.

Load data#

Lets assume we have the following data given. The polygons of the admin-1 regions of the Netherlands and an exposure value each, which we gather in a geodataframe. We want to know the Impact of Lothar on each admin-1 region.

In this tutorial, we shall see how to compute impacts for exposures defined on shapely geometries (polygons and/or lines). The basic principle is to disaggregate the geometries to a raster of points, compute the impact per points, and then re-aggregate. To do so, several methods are available. Here is a brief overview.

Compute polygon impacts - all in one#

All in one: The main method calc_geom_impact provides several disaggregation keywords, specifiying

  • the target resolution (res),

  • the method on how to distribute the values of the original geometries onto the newly generated interpolated points (disagg_met)

  • the source (and number) of the value to be distributed (disagg_val).

  • the aggregation method (agg_met)

disagg_met can be either fixed (FIX), replicating the original shape’s value onto all points, or divided evenly (DIV), in which case the value is divided equally onto all new points. disagg_val can either be taken directly from the exposure gdf’s value column (None) or be indicated here explicitly (float). Resolution can be given in the gdf’s original (mostly degrees lat/lon) format, or in metres. agg_met can currently be only (SUM) were the value is summed over all points in the geometry.

Polygons can also be disaggregated on a given fixed grid, see example below

Example 1: Target resolution in degrees lat/lon, equal (average) distribution of values from exposure gdf among points.

imp_deg = u_lp.calc_geom_impact(
    exp=exp_nl_poly, impf_set=impf_set, haz=storms,
    res=0.005, disagg_met=u_lp.DisaggMethod.DIV, disagg_val=None,

Example 2: Target resolution in metres, equal (divide) distribution of values from exposure gdf among points.

For this specific case, both disaggregation methods provide a relatively similar result, given the chosen numbers:

(imp_deg.eai_exp - imp_m.eai_exp) / imp_deg.eai_exp
array([ 0.00614586, -0.01079377,  0.00021355,  0.00140608,  0.0038771 ,

       -0.01838225,  0.01811858])

Example 3: Target predefined grid, equal (divide) distribution of values from exposure gdf among points.

#regular grid from exposures bounds

Compute polygon impacts - step by step#

Step 1: Disaggregate polygon exposures to points. It is useful to do this separately, when the discretized exposure is used several times, for example, to compute with different hazards.

Several disaggregation methods can be used as shown below:

# Disaggregate exposure to 10'000 metre grid, each point gets average value within polygon.

Step 1: As in the polygon example above, there are several methods to disaggregate line exposures into point exposures, of which several are shown here:

# 0.1° distance between points, average value disaggregation
