Multimodal Transportation Facility Resilience Index

项目名称：	Multimodal Transportation Facility Resilience Index
摘要：	A new paradigm for complex systems performance and maintenance decision making is developing in the form of resilience engineering. Depending on the subject area, different definitions of resilience exist. This project will adopt a definition appropriate for resilience in transportation systems: the ability of the system to recover and adapt to external shocks, which include natural, intentional and technogenic disasters and failure due to poor designs. These disturbances can ultimately affect the smooth and efficient operation of systems and may demand a shift of process, strategies and/or coordination. In most cases, transportation facilities are interconnected and the analyses should consider properties of this strong interdependency. These interdependencies and uncertainties of multimodal transportation facilities are addressed through the development of a resilience index in this project. Development of this index will be formulated by addressing the following: What aspect of the system should be resilient? To what kind of change would we like the system to be resilient to? What variables are changing? How fast are the variables moving from threshold levels? Is the system resilient to external shocks (natural or artificial) or to technogenic disasters? Finally, the project will employ probabilistic graphical models to develop multimodal transportation facility index.
