Abstract:This research develops a decision support tool for assessing vulnerability of transportation networks. This report consists of 1) describing the trends of freight movements in Utah, 2) identifying the current and potential freight chokepoints/bottlenecks in Utah, 3) estimating a simplified truck Origin-Destination (O-D) trip table using the commodity flow data from the U.S. Department of Transportation Freight Analysis Framework (FAF), 4) developing a visualization tool combined with geographical information systems (GIS) features for transportation network vulnerability analysis as a decision support tool, 5) conducting a case study based on the disruption scenarios of highway bridges using the highway system in the state of Utah to evaluate the decision support tool, and 6) providing suggestions for future research.
