Abstract:

Support for Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Transportation Systems and Infrastructure: Gulf Coast Study Phase 2 developed methodologies for evaluating vulnerability and adaptation measures for local transportation systems. These transferrable methodologies were pilot tested in Mobile, Alabama. The project team evaluated the impacts on six transportation modes (highways, ports, airports, rail, transit, and pipelines) from projected changes in temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, and the surges and winds associated with more intense storms. After transportation agencies complete a high-level vulnerability screen of the broader system, the next step may include detailed engineering assessment of assets that have been identified as vulnerable. Engineering assessments are conducted to evaluate vulnerabilities of the structural integrity of the assets from changes in climate and the effectiveness of specific adaptation measures. Task 3.2 applied a framework for conducting detailed engineering assessments to 11 case studies of assets in Mobile.
