Resiliency

An Inter-Agency Approach to Planning for Transportation System Resilience for Underserved Populations and General Populations: Case Study Applications to Georgia and Texas

Evolving climate disasters and the pandemic are a persistent reminder that lower levels of social equity can leave populations vulnerable. There is mounting evidence that while resilience is determined by the weakest link in the (supply)chain, its effects tend to impact the entire (supply) chain and communities it serves. As climate disasters evolve in frequency and magnitude, and in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, transportation agencies will manage system performance better as they become more resilient.

Capacity-flow Feature-based Restoration Strategy Optimization for Resilient Transportation Systems to Enhance Mobility, Accessibility, and Equity after Disruptive Events

The resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) is critical for society to resist, response to, and recover from a disruptive event. A four-phase emergency management model developed by the National Governors’ Association consists of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. This proposal focuses on the recovery phase to propose a holistic methodology to allocate limited resources after a disruptive event to restore damaged transportation infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to enhance the resiliency of the transportation system from the mobility, accessibility, and equity perspectives.
