Efficient Dredging Strategies for Improving Transportation Infrastructure Resilience |
摘要: |
The viability of the marine highway system as efficient means of transportation is highly dependent upon weather patterns, which vary widely from year to year. Droughts can render waterways impassable to large ships, forcing distributors to either rely on other, more expensive, transportation modes to satisfy their transportation needs, or take action to restore waterway navigability. One way to accomplish this is by dredging, or excavating, certain stretches of waterways. The proposed research will develop mathematical modeling approaches to explore cost efficient dredging strategies for hardening inland waterway infrastructure against the possible impacts of drought events. |
