The University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) Publishes the Final Report: "Vulnerability of Transportation System and Evacuation Plan for Coastal Flooding in Climate Change"

  

UTRC has released a final report for the research titled: "Vulnerability of Transportation System and Evacuation Plan for Coastal Flooding in Climate Change", funded by UTRC.  The principal investigators were Dr. Hangson Tang, City College of New York and Dr. Steven I-Jy Chien, New Jersey Institute of Technology. 

 

"This project develops a method for predicting coastal flooding considering climate change and sea level rise, and its impact on population and transportation network. In particular, a modeling framework has been proposed to predict flooding and estimate affected population and traffic systems needed for evacuation plans".  

  

The full report is available for a free download at the UTRC website:
