Railways are critical infrastructures for the transportation of people and goods and network failures must be controlled in order to maintain safety and to limit economic losses. The railway network is exposed to natural hazards and particularly to intense pluvial runoff. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon, management of risks induced by pluvial runoff raises technical and scientific issues. An innovative method for runoff susceptibility mapping, called IRIP for Indicator of Intense Pluvial Runoff, has been created and adapted to the railway context. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the relevance of the mapping method and to provide application advice. The mapping method is evaluated by comparison with the results of a hydraulic diagnosis, on a 20 km railway line, using quantitative and qualitative comparisons. On the basis of contingency tables, probabilities of detection (POD, railway sections exposed and detected by IRIP) and false alarm ratios (FAR, railway sections detected by IRIP whereas they are not exposed) are computed. POD range from 94 to 100% and FAR range from 20 to 26%. Then spatial information provided by the maps is compared with field observations and recommendations. It is shown that the mapping method can bring substantial contribution to risk identification and that the IRIP method can allow pushing forward the current risk reduction methods. Thus, the surface runoff maps open up new opportunities to manage surface runoff, such as targeting mitigation actions at the origin of the hazard in partnership with the other territory stakeholders.
