Transportation Systems Resilience: Models and Algorithms

Elise Miller-Hooks
Infrastructure Engineering, George Mason University

ABSTRACT: Miller describes mathematical and algorithmic approaches developed for quantifying and maximizing resilience of surface transportation systems and the societal functions they support. Transportation systems interconnect with other critical lifelines, such as power and water supplies. Together, these lifelines support societal activities. System users’ (for example, transit riders) abilities play an important role in their experience of these systems and services. Miller considers both the technical components of a system and the way that system enables its users to adapt. She discusses resilience in the context of our current environment and a developing environment that is intelligent and connected.
