Integrate Socioeconomic Vulnerability for Resilient Transportation Infrastructure Planning
Liming Wang
John MacArthur , Yu Xiao
This research project develops a novel methodology for assessing transportation network vulnerability and resilience, with a particular focus on incorporating social vulnerability into the analysis. The study addresses a critical gap in existing research by integrating socioeconomic vulnerability indicators into the evaluation of transportation infrastructure vulnerabilities for areas facing multi-hazards, using the Portland metropolitan area as a case study.
The methodology combines spat...
