Bringing it All Together
• Applying critical infrastructure tools:1. Delineate important assets and gather data
2. Estimate future travel and economic activity
3. Solicit stakeholder input and develop a critical infrastructure consensus
• Defining criticality excludes engineering and environmental considerations
• Outputs Feed Assessment during Task 2 efforts
Task 1: Identify Critical Transportation Systems
Task 1: Identify Critical Transportation Systems
17
• ICF and PB will develop a preliminary list of critical assets Review MPO Model & other available modal or special purpose models
• Enhance models as needed to identify critical infrastructure & assess vulnerability
• Re-run model as needed to test critical links (stress on system if one link down)
Review plans & programs, interview staff Collect & review asset data & asset management tools in use
• Score and rank critical assets
• Send draft critical asset list to climate workgroup to request feedback
Task 1: Identify Critical Transportation Systems
Task 1: Identify Critical Transportation Systems
18
• Collect, review, and summarize climate/weather data to develop datasets of past and future conditions
Observations and model projections• temperature • precipitation• winds • runoff• waves • sea level rise• storm surge• will examine changes in both means and extremes
Approach will be different than Phase I, e.g.• focused explicitly on Mobile• use of more advanced models (e.g., ADCIRC; downscaling)• provide near-term, mid-term, and end-of-century futures
One illustrative output will be GIS-based maps indicating potential inundation
• incorporating: global sea level rise, local subsidence, LIDAR-based elevation, and storm surge modeling
Task 2: Identify Climate DataTask 2: Identify Climate Data
19
• Develop qualitative assessments of the sensitivity of critical transportation infrastructure and services in Mobile to climate
Parametric modeling – time series analysis Analog analysis – assessment of extreme events. Guidance from the CC
Work Group is requested.• Katrina (other?)• Heat wave (2007?)• Non-hurricane-related storm (?)
Infrastructure cost analysis
• For this to be as useful as possible to Mobile we need relevant transportation data for:
Bridges Highways Tunnels Railroads Marine ports and terminals
Task 2: Identify Climate SensitivityTask 2: Identify Climate Sensitivity
• Waterways
• Airports
• Bicycle and Pedestrian infrastructure
• Public Transportation
• Natural Gas and Oil Pipelines 20
Task 2: Identify Climate SensitivityTask 2: Identify Climate Sensitivity
• Data types, e.g. Asset value; replacement cost
• Includes infrastructure and equipment
Maintenance and repair frequency and cost• Including in relation to other costs/values
Post-weather-event survey – damage estimate; service loss Insurance claims Asset monitoring – e.g.
• Condition, projected life span, etc.
Travel information – e.g.• VMT, transit time, avg speed, accident data, etc.
Value and quantity of goods transported• roadway, marine, air, pipeline
Regional/national economic dependence on Mobile transportation• transportation through and out of the region
We need your help! Names, web sites, documents, etc.
21
Data Needs: Task 1 vs. Task 2Data Needs: Task 1 vs. Task 2
• Tasks 1 and 2 will mostly rely on similar data, e.g.: vehicle miles traveled freight value
• Some data will be exclusively for a specific task, e.g.:
Task 1—specific location Task 2—historical damage to assets
• Some data will later be useful for Task 3, e.g.: Engineering specifications of a particular asset
22
Next StepsNext Steps
• Task 1: Develop draft list of critical transportation assets in Mobile Share list with Climate Work Group and ask for feedback
• Task 2: Follow up to pursue access to particular data Interview key individuals regarding impacts from past weather
events Present preliminary results from sensitivity analysis to receive
feedback from the Climate Work Group
