Abstract:Rutgers University Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT), in collaboration
with research partners within the University Transportation Center (UTC) consortium, seeks to identify
knowledge gaps and chart future R&D directions that focus on resilience of and interactions between
the critical infrastructure sectors. In particular, lifeline sectors including transportation, energy,
communication, water and wastewater, and emergency services are of interest. On December 4, 2015,
CAIT hosted a one-day workshop with an aim to develop a roadmap for research priorities based on
the emerging infrastructure risks and on the distinct capabilities of the Center partners. Invited
participants from public agencies, industry, and universities engaged in facilitated discussions to
identify top priorities for building 1) pre-event resilience, 2) characterizing hazard events, and 3)
accelerating post-event resilience. Workshop conclusions and a review of published literature indicate
key challenges and research opportunities including an improved understanding of interdependencies
across critical sectors; establishing robust, implementable resilience metrics, more precise
characterization of system vulnerabilities, and prioritization of funding for infrastructure interventions.
