Abstract:

The goal of this study is to evaluate data and models useful for assessing the resilience of port operations to road closures caused by storm surge flooding. To achieve this goal, we used a case study of Port Freeport, Texas, and developed a prototype web-based application that can be used to a) predict storm surge flooding; b) predict road closures caused by flooding; c) quantify the ability of the network to maintain transport service to the port. The prototype application enabled us to integrate models and data into a tool that could be used by stakeholders to explore the relationship between flooding and transportation. However, we also attempted to identify models and data in the context of extending the prototype to other port systems, or to other applications that involve flooding, road closures, and impacts on transportation service.
