Y3R7 - Identifying Critical and Vulnerable Freight Routes in Roadway Networks: A Game Theory Framework and Application in the State of Florida |
摘要: |
Transportation networks are by nature vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters (or incidents).
Vulnerabilities of transportation networks have been widely studied in recent years and are gaining even
more attention with the growing number of threats (e.g., climate change, man-made attacks). In the US the
transportation network is one of the largest and oldest in the world making also one of the most vulnerable.
As traffic demand increases (despite the decrease in vehicle miles traveled) decision-makers are faced with
the important task of identifying the vulnerable and critical links and routes in the transportation network
and make decisions on investment that will protect and fortify the network against attacks. Addressing
network vulnerabilities of transportation assets, in general, will minimize impacts of disruption, reduce
recovery time and improve on the region’s resilience. In this project, the project team will improve and implement on a
testbed in Florida mathematical models and tools developed by Golias et al. (2018) to identify critical and
vulnerable links and/or paths with a focus on freight movements |
