Description
Floods of Brisbane have compelled researchers to investigate ways to assess the impacts of these floods on the road networks and to design solutions that will help the decision-makers in prioritising investments on roads that are critical for connectivity and operability of the networks before, during and after the disasters. This research, therefore, serves two primary goals. Firstly, it identifies the vulnerable communities within Brisbane, and secondly, it proposes an add-on decision-making tool for Benefit-Cost Analysis of critical transport infrastructure - which considers community focussed parameters of robustness, accessibility and operability of the road network.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
