Monograph

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with critical infrastructure, emergency evacuation, and logistics of disaster recovery. Specific topics addressed in this issue include: planning postdisaster operations in a highway network; traffic incident impacts on evacuation times in large-scale emergencies; assessing climate change vulnerability in transportation infrastructure; cost assessment of a highway bridge network subjected to extreme seismic events; mobility benefits of intermediate crossovers on contraflow facilities during hurricane evacuation; command-and-control strategies in crowd movement; optimal evacuation traffic routing and signal control with nonuniform threat; and evacuation routes and traffic management strategies in short-notice emergency evacuation. Additional topics include: accessibility of low-income populations to safe zones during localized evacuations; optimal traffic routing for network evacuation with nonuniform threats; crossing elimination for no-notice evacuations; phased evacuations in megaregion highway networks; the use of social media data to explore crisis informatics; the use of mobile lidar data to assess hurricane damage and visualize community vulnerability; and urban ferries and catastrophic floods.
