Transportation Critical Infrastructure The development of a mathematical model, using a Systems Engineering approach, for assessing the impacts disconnects have on critical links for a highway network

Outline Objective Significance Definitions The Systems Engineering Process Assumptions Metrics Phase I Simulation Model Phase II Simulation Model

Objective The objective of this dissertation is to develop a mathematical model, using performance metrics, to simulate the impacts disconnects have on highway networks for major metropolitan cities in the US –Three Steps 1. Systems Engineering Approach 2. Network Link Performance 3. Links with Highest Affect on Critical Link

Significance to Society The contribution of this dissertation provides officials a decision making tool for resource allocation and risk mitigation –Metric that measures the performance of the network given disconnects occurring –Ranking of links affecting critical links the most

Significance to Society Decision Making Tool i, j

Significance to Research Algorithm for finding link with the most negative impact to the network given critical links
