Presentation Transcript

  1. Urban Infrastructure and Its Protection Responding to the Unexpected Interest Group Report

  2. Infrastructure • Definition • Transportation and communications (all modes) • Utilities (electric, water, sewer, steam) • Built environment • Institutions that operate, manage infrastructure • Function in urban economy • Network characteristics • Complex systems • Critical element in disaster response

  3. Research on Infrastructure • Monitoring technologies • Instrumentation for rapid detection • Response capability as added benefit to monitoring systems • Automated, linked • Critical Infrastructure • Methods for determining criticality, considering interdependencies within and between systems • Comprehensive vulnerability assessment in real-time • Simulations for assessing criticality • ICT as most critical infrastructure

  4. More research on infrastructure • Security and surveillance of commodity flows • Electronic clearance, WIM, scanners • Potential for rapid response, recovery • Dynamic meta-logistics • Optimization of flows for crisis response • Appropriate IS for optimization • Access to infrastructure system control; infrastructure system management

  5. More on infrastructure • Evaluating infrastructure performance • Performance measurement • How outcomes are related to initial conditions, management practices, decision rules

  6. Cross-cutting research • ICT systems • How to develop robust systems • “fail over” capability, self repairing systems • Efficient redundancies • Effective linkages, compatibilities • Interoperability • How to link different hardware, software, data bases • How to achieve linkages between organizations, decision-makers • The “right information” • Who, what, when, where, at what cost

  7. More cross-cutting research • Models and simulations • Real-time dynamic optimization for decision support • Contingent decision-making, damage chains • Resource supply, demand, allocation, distribution • Scenario analysis, training for decision-makers • Agent-based models (models that learn) • Virtually accessible expert knowledge – in real time • Lessons learned, careful case studies • Agile research
