あらすじ・解説
This white paper from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute examines the potential consequences of a Category 5 hurricane directly hitting Houston, particularly during the construction of the North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP). The paper highlights the critical need for effective evacuation and resiliency planning in such scenarios, emphasizing the challenges posed by construction-related disruptions and the limitations of existing simulation models. The authors propose a new simulation-based modeling platform that utilizes parallel processing and cluster computing to enhance the speed and scope of disaster planning simulations, thereby enabling decision-makers to evaluate various "what-if" scenarios and make informed decisions before, during, and after extreme weather events.
