Disaster Response and Transportation Planning for Coastal and River Valley Communities
Transportation systems under emergency conditions including evacuation, response, and recovery require planning, design, management, operation, and preservation of transportation systems to economically, efficiently, and safely respond to changing conditions and demands that may occur. Under emergency conditions, the amount and timing of the travel demand often quickly and overwhelmingly exceeds the ability of the transportation system to serve it. To improve system response to disruptive events, data analytics, decision support tools, and emergency transportation plans are needed to increase transportation system resilience in terms of economic value, societal benefit, and customer satisfaction as time elapses during disruption response period.
