TS028: Technical Solutions for Resilience

Date: 11/15/2019
Time: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Location: NAS 120

Session Description:
Resilience transportation networks require technical solutions that go beyond traditional practice by using existing tools in novel manners and creating new methods and tools to handle new challenges. In many cases, such as low volume roads or increasing flood risks across a region, it is difficult to justify major infrastructure investments. In this session, a range of technical approaches will be discussed that focus on understanding and increasing the capacity of those systems. The focus is on practical applications that have been demonstrated to be effectively used by state departments of transportation.
