Method to Measure Transportation System Performance and Infrastructure Restoration

Tech ID: 17B148

Competitive Advantages

  • Efficient allocation of time and resources
  • Fast decision making
  • Optimization of multiple factors in capacity-flow transportation

Summary

USF inventors have created a comprehensive method to assess damages and resilience and efficiently plan repairs and reconstruction of transportation infrastructure. This novel methodology has superior decision making tools to select roads and/or infrastructure to be restored and allocate resources while taking in to account multiple factors. These factors can range from type of degradation or destruction, resource consumption per job, and urgency for entire system performance. This optimizes and prioritizes the resources, money, and time spent on repairing and reconstructing infrastructure systems. The method has great potential to improve transportation and infrastructure in a multitude of places after natural disasters.
