Road asset exposure and risk assessment of extreme storm flooding under a changing climate: a case of Shanghai

Risk Assessment of Flood-Prone Roads Using Digital Models

Climate change and extreme weather events constitute a major threat to the integrity and the operability of every transportation system. Storm surges, wildfires, floods and hurricanes may produce unforeseeable damage to passengers, vehicles, goods and roads Among these climate hazards, floods are the most damaging and...

From Flood Hazard to Actionable Urban Resilience: Scenario-Aware Building, Road, and Evacuation Planning for Derna, Libya

The September 2023 Derna disaster has already generated high-quality flood reconstruction and remote-sensing damage studies. This paper shifts from retrospective damage detection to a scenario-aware decision-support framework for reconstruction and evacuation planning using official Copernicus EMSN177 5-, 100-, and 500...

Assessing and Optimizing Flood Recovery Strategies for Road Network Disruptions in Shenzhen Based on Isochrone Analysis

The escalating threats of climate change and rapid urbanization to urban sustainability have intensified the urgency for effective flood recovery strategies, particularly regarding critical infrastructure such as road networks. Shenzhen, a megacity frequently hit by short-duration heavy rainfall and typhoon-induced s...

Flood control assessment and hydraulic computation of river channels under extreme rainstorm conditions

Integration of climate change impacts and agent-based model to flood risk evaluation in an urbanized area

This study uses an agent-based model (ABM) to assess how household and government actions influence flood risk in an urban area under climate change. Seventeen regional climate models are evaluated, and projections from the best-performing model are used in hydrologic and coupled 1D/2D hydraulic models to simulate hydr...
