Resilience in Civil Infrastructure Systems
by Elise Miller-Hooks (University of Maryland, USA)
Risks from accidents, weather-induced hazards, and terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure systems have dramatically increased in recent years. The occurrence of such events can have tremendous impact on system performance and can lead to significant economic loss. Secure and functioning civil infrastructure systems are of paramount importance to society. To ensure that effective services can be provided in a disaster’s aftermath enabling society to recover, agencies charged with constructing, managing and operating these systems must invest in measures that prevent or mitigate the effects of disaster incidents. This talk will discuss developed mathematical tools for measuring a network’s maximum resilience level and simultaneously determining the optimal set of preparedness and recovery actions necessary to achieve this level under budget and level-of-service constraints. These tools recognize that post-disaster performance of these networks depends not only on the inherent capability of the system to absorb externally induced changes, but also on the actions that can be taken in the immediate aftermath of the disaster to preserve or restore system performance. Remedial actions that may be taken pre-event, including, for example, adding additional links to the network, ordering spare parts or backup equipment, prepositioning resources in anticipation of potential recovery activities, implementation of advanced technologies, training, and other pre-event actions that can reduce the time required to complete potential recovery activities should they be required post-event are also considered. The problem of optimally allocating a limited budget between preparedness and recovery activities will also be explored. Identification of the appropriate pre-event preparatory and post-disaster recovery actions and related investment allocation decisions can play a crucial role in lessening ensuing post-disaster economic and societal loss. Specific examples from applications in intermodal freight transport, passenger transport, and airport pavement networks will be provided.
Europe beyond 2020: Policy, scenarios and infrastructure modeling
by Bjorn H. Bakken (SINTEF, Norway)
The energy policy goals of the European Union for 2020 are concrete and well known. Recently, also the formulation of specific policy targets for 2050 has started: The EU aims for 80-95% reduction in total GHG emissions compared to 1990. The energy sector will contribute about 40% to this target through a complete de-carbonization. Several scenario studies have already been performed to examine if and how this can be achieved, and at what cost. Highlights from some of these studies will be presented, and their impact on future energy infrastructure will be discussed.
