Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Engineering, Systems and Services Date 2016-01-04 Abstract Physical infrastructures facilitate much of societal and economic wellbeing of countries, regions and urban areas. In our increasingly urbanizing world, infrastructures in urban areas are densely located and interconnected. The effects of this interconnectedness are being studied increasingly, particularly in light of climate change effects. In this paper, we develop an agent-based simulation model that allows us to study interconnected infrastructure. We present a layered approach that is analogous to GIS overlay approaches, which allows us to integrate representations of different infrastructures. We explore how this approach can help asset managers to gain insights in interconnected infrastructure by estimating their total damage and repair requirements during a flood event. The results show a difference in these estimates, when compared to non-integrated models, highlighting the need for asset managers to consider interconnectedness in infrastructure Subject asset managementinterconnectednessclimate changeagent-based modelling To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:37340b1e-0776-4f72-a262-82f1db8b7db5 Publisher Delft University of Technology, Transport and Logistics Group ISSN 1567-7141 Source European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research (EJTIR), 16 (1), 2016 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type journal article Rights (c) 2016 The Authors Files PDF 327156.pdf 607.92 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:37340b1e-0776-4f72-a262-82f1db8b7db5/datastream/OBJ/view
