Decision-making Frameworks Enhancing Interdependent Infrastructures Resilience
Interdependent infrastructure systems administrators need reliable and rapid tools to correctly analyze and respond to large-scale disruptions and eventually enhance resilience.
Optimization-based frameworks can provide valuable insights into the restoration of disrupted infrastructures and how the limited resources and repair crews should be prioritized and assigned to the network.
Large-scale disruptive events have impacted infrastructure networks in the USA, like the 2003 power outage and the 2017 Hurricane Irma.
This research will benefit security and public health by improving the performance of infrastructure systems to bounce back to normal activity and lower the impacts on vulnerable communities, respectively.
