Incorporating Resilience Considerations in Transportation Asset Management Planning and Project Selection Process

This project aims to advance resilience-based transportation asset management (TAM) planning and project selection through the systematic integration of resilience for various assets. It encompasses five primary tasks: (1) Collecting asset and hazard datasets and integrating those diverse datasets for accurate disruption scenario analysis and asset condition assessment. (2) Performing vulnerability assessment based on asset conditions and disruption scenario analysis. (3) Developing a resilience-based TAM framework for various assets, which involves synthesizing insights from literature review and interviews with the Resilience Working Group to (i) identify resilience metrics for different asset types, (ii) conduct lifecycle cost analysis, (iii) develop a decision-making model for resource allocation, and (iv) conducting sensitivity analysis to identify critical factors for improving resilience and investment prioritization. (4) Creating a user-friendly tool to operationalize the proposed framework. (5) Conducting pilot studies to demonstrate the resilience-based TAM framework. This project benefits district transportation authorities by improving resource allocation, asset resilience, and project selection. Through structured evaluation of trade-offs between competing TAM objectives like resilience and cost-effectiveness, and investment prioritization, this project ensures efficient resource allocation and long-term resilience under resource constraints. Ultimately, this project establishes the groundwork for the resilience-based TAM Plan and Statewide Resiliency Plan.
