Flood Vulnerability Assessment and Data Visualization for Lifeline Transportation Network

项目名称：	Flood Vulnerability Assessment and Data Visualization for Lifeline Transportation Network
摘要：	The objective of this project is to develop a 2D hydrodynamic model to assess the extent of flooding due to extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy and to evaluate the efficiency of existing transportation infrastructure. A network representation of the transportation systems, generation of flood event scenarios, a method to estimate transportation link vulnerability will be incorporated. The transportation link vulnerability can be evaluated in terms of its service disruption related to the number of interrupted vehicles and the durations of interruption. To generate the flood scenarios, a frequency analysis of annual peak flow data collected at a stream gage can provide an estimation of the flood magnitude and frequency. A mobile data visualization user-friendly application on Android will be developed to provide flood data and information for New Jersey coastal communities. Furthermore, this evaluation can be used to develop a decision-support framework for extreme evacuation planning to prepare the communities living in critical regions. The intended outcome of the project is to guide the path toward resiliency of state roadways and help to revise the evacuation plans during natural disasters. In addition, capital improvement projects can use this project outcome to optimize their solutions and plan ahead for high risk areas.
