Synthetic Infrastructure Model for Vulnerability, Failure, & Future Transition
Urban infrastructures are complex and vulnerable to cascading failures (e.g., a hurricane causing large-scale power outages). Understanding urban infrastructures, their relationships, and propensity for cascading failures is essential to preparing for future extreme events. Often seemingly innocuous failures trigger a catastrophic hazard as the initial...

Truck-mounted pavement deflection monitoring system using high-precision laser scanners and inertial sensors
A new easy to use universal pavement deflection monitoring system to monitor road healthThe deflection of pavement when a moving vehicle passes over it is an important measure of its condition. Since pavement damage is initially not visible on a road’s surface, pavement deflection should be measured as often as possible for the efficient maintenance...
