Traffic Performance Assessment of Disrupted Roadway Networks Following Earthquakes

The study will firstly start with comprehensive literature review of related studies on disrupted transportation infrastructure modeling. Secondly, representative disrupted scenarios of a typical city road network are identified, including possible transportation infrastructure damage and debris caused by damages of other infrastructures. Thirdly, advanced agent-based traffic flow and safety simulation technique is applied to simulate the traffic performance, including both congestion and potential safety threats on the disrupted transportation system following earthquakes. Finally, the improvement strategy of transportation system to optimize the post-hazard performance of the disrupted network is studied.
