Abstract:The overall goal of this research is to develop a risk assessment framework that can be used to prioritize maintenance and identify maritime infrastructure which is most critical to the U.S. transportation system and economy. This study specifically seeks to demonstrate how a multicriterion ranking framework, integrating Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods (i.e., a CRITIC-TOPSIS approach), can be implemented to identify critical maritime infrastructure that are essential for ensuring safety and reducing economic loss in a given area. The levee systems within the state of Arkansas are used as an example infrastructure set and the criterion were chosen from the National Levee Database (NLD) along with other existing databases.
