Transportation Infrastructure Robustness: Analysis And Measurement
| 项目名称： | Transportation Infrastructure Robustness: Analysis And Measurement |
| 摘要： | This project proposes to analyze and measure the robustness of transportation infrastructure facilities and systems. This proposal falls into the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) category of �faculty-initiated research projects�. It addresses a topic related to the goals of �maintaining an infrastructure transportation system in a state of good repair� to �enhance the Nation�s economic competitiveness�, which have been designated by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and UTRC as key research areas. To meet the criterion of �state of good repair�, transportation infrastructure systems must provide an adequate peak�hour, Level of Service (LOS). LOS is measured in units of traffic (vehicles or passengers), that traverse a unit distance (1 mile), per unit time (1 hour) at a minimum required speed (mile/hour) and at minimum safety level (collision rates). LOS deterioration is due to normal usage and natural depreciation in infrastructure quality, or due to impacts of rare disastrous shocks such as a major storm. From economic perspective, a decline in LOS carries significant economic costs to users in terms of increased travel times, reduced system reliability, and increased vehicle operating costs. |
