Hilly terrain road networking throughout the world is associated with the serious problem of frequently occurring roadside landslides. The reason could be the negligence of nature friendly scientific and engineering aspects. Inconvenience consequents upon the landslides are leading to life and financial losses. Recently developed four lane road network in Aravalli is most prestigious infrastructure development activity of India. This paper is intended to explore dimensions to understand and overcome the problem of landslides. Hill slope geometry, stability analysis and finite elemental analysis help us to understand the disastrous failure of the hills, remedial measures and its suitability analysis. For development of early warning system, data were collected from hill by putting variables and constant parameters; slope stability analysis and segmentations analysis of rock mass in the hill cut face was done by using satellite data analyzed with geographic information systems software. Rock mass data, rock samples and soil samples were collected for the determination of geo-mechanical properties and slope stability analysis was carried out using licensed software GALENA. Finally computer simulation was done with the use of finite elemental analysis by generating computer models of the hill faces which are likely to fail. Complete data profile was generated and measures for controlling the landslides for selected sensitive hills.
