• Abstract:
  In Pennsylvania DOT District 6 expanding watershed development is increasing demands on roadways and worsening flooding. This research addresses the fundamental question: “How can flood mitigation improve the safety and sustainability of a road network?” While many studies have sought to understand the impacts of hydrologic events on driving conditions and roadway surfaces, this research seeks to understand these impacts from a holistic system approach by applying technological advancements (LiDAR and near IR cameras) and harnessing the data revolution to identify actions that lead to greater resiliency in response to stormwater inundation of roadways. Here we analyze stormwater inundation of the roadway system impacts the safety, maintenance, operation, and ultimately the overall sustainability of a roadway network.
