Abstract:

The literature related to sustainability and resilience in underground transportation infrastructure (UTI) was reviewed. Two planning frameworks were investigated for their suitability to UTI and to illustrate the application of the framework for UTI. The first framework investigated was the Vulnerability Assessment Scoring Tool (VAST). VAST was found to work well for UTI. However, there is a need for additional guidance for the “tunnel” asset class. The second framework investigated was the Envision rating system for sustainability. Envision was found to capture both the advantages and disadvantages of underground transportation infrastructure. However, areas in which underground transportation infrastructure holds comparative advantages over other types of infrastructure are likely to be the least familiar to practitioners. Specific fruitful areas of research were identified to improve the relative benefit of underground transportation infrastructure.
