Description
In this research, a framework for using ITS data in risk assessment of transportation
network will be developed, in which the dynamic feature of traffic condition will be
accommodated. The primary objective of thIs research is to explore how to
incorporate ITS data into the risk assessment indices and thus provide dynamic
indication of the risk factor. In addition, the data requirement under the context of
Archived Data User Service (ADUS) to achieve this shall be developed, and the
framework will be tested using simulation.
The potential benefits of this research include (1) establishing a basic understanding of
how the ITS data can be incorporated into the risk assessment of transportation
network; (2) providing a systematic solution to the risk assessment using existing ITS
data collection and archiving system; (3) providing a tool for decision-makers to
perceive terrorist threats as well as transportation safety hazards; and (4) providing an
example for further study on effective management of highway network security
response, recovery, and mitigation. This research is timely in addressing the national
need to improve the security of transportation systems. It could provide an insight
into 'how the transportation system security can be improved through interfacing with
some existing traffic information and management systems.
