The purpose of this workshop is to convene subject matter experts associated with transportation systems and functional recovery, including risk and resilience of transportation systems, from research and practitioner backgrounds. Participants will discuss ongoing efforts in developing functional recovery goals and decision tools for transportation systems, implementation of research assessment methodologies, and incorporation of transportation equity and climate resilience aspects. Further, we aim to assess challenges, including technical and stakeholder considerations, to developing functional recovery performance objectives for transportation systems.

Workshop objectives

Discuss ongoing efforts in developing functional recovery goals and decision tools for transportation systems
Assess challenges to developing functional recovery performance objectives for transportation systems
Delineate major categories of transportation systems and assess leveraging functional recovery categories/timelines/metrics for buildings in advancing functional recovery efforts for transportation systems

who should attend

Ideal participants will have a strong background in functional recovery concepts and seismic analysis, risk assessment, or modeling of transportation systems, especially in relation to post-earthquake functionality needs. This workshop is not intended as an educational program, rather a focused discussion of critical issues in the area. A summary report will be available after the workshop for those unable to attend.

agenda

Pre-event reading: A selection of relevant literature will be provided prior to the workshop.
