Abstract:Transit agencies are interested in assessing the short-, mid-, and long-term performance of their infrastructure with the
objective of enhancing resiliency and efficiency. This report addresses three distinct aspects of New Jersey’s Transit System:
1) resiliency of bridge infrastructure, 2) resiliency of public transit systems, and 3) efficiency of transit systems with an emphasis
on paratransit service.
This project proposed a conceptual framework to assess the performance and resiliency for bridge structures in a transit network
before and after disasters utilizing structural health monitoring (SHM), finite element (FE) modeling and remote sensing using
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). The public transit systems in NY/NJ were analyzed based on their vulnerability,
resiliency, and efficiency in recovery following a major natural disaster.
