Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on transportation infrastructure system performance in disasters. Specifically, it reviews those articles appearing in refereed journals, conference proceedings, ...

Abstract: A stochastic, time-dependent integer program with recursive functions is proposed for the problem of assessing a rail-based freight transportation system’s resilience to disaster events. This work adds to this notion of ...

Abstract: Numerous works have considered methods for improving traffic conditions, and hence reducing evacuation time, in a geographic evacuation. The majority of these efforts have focused on traffic flow along freeways, and it ...

Abstract: A significant portion of nonrecurrent freeway congestion is caused by incidents. This nonrecurrent congestion negatively impacts safety and mobility. It produces enormous travel delay and results in secondary incidents, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an emissions estimation tool, the carbon footprint estimation tool (CFET), for the estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other air pollutants from construction projects that are associated ...

Abstract: In this paper, an optimization-based methodology is proposed to permit a construction firm to assess its equipment needs while accounting for the GHG emissions resulting from equipment use and policy makers to set carbon ...

Abstract: Natural or human-made incidents in urban areas cause surges in demand for hospitals while often simultaneously limiting their capacity to serve patients due to direct physical damage or service interruptions in supporting ...

Abstract: Maintaining roadway pavements and bridge decks is key to providing high levels of service for road users. However, improvement actions incur downtime. These actions are typically scheduled by asset class, yet implemented ...

Abstract: High serviceability of roadway pavements is crucial to well-functioning roadway networks. With time and use, the condition of these roadway elements degrades and maintenance or rehabilitation (M&R) is required to ensure ...
