• Abstract:
  This report focuses on the transportation resiliency of the Long Wharf area in the City of New Haven, CT, ; with the aim of identifying resiliency strategies for these transportation assets. The report begins with ; reviewing the important transportation assets in Long Wharf area, which includes highways, bridges and ; railways. Subsequently, a statistical analysis is carried out to regress the extreme water levels to atmospheric ; forcing in the region. In order to simulate the potential total water level, a simulation scheme that combines a ; high-resolution atmosphere model, a land-surface model and a parametric wind-wave model is devised, ; considering both the actual Superstorm Sandy and simulated future scenarios. The derived total water levels ; from actual and future Sandy simulation scenarios are used to generate GIS-based flood inundation maps for ; the study area, followed by the evaluation of resiliency of the transportation assets due to flood hazards during ; hurricanes. Finally, based on a comprehensive review of the resiliency options utilized across US coastal ; regions, potential resiliency options are made for the study area.
