The USDOT Volpe Center has released the first public version of the Resilience and Disaster Recovery (RDR) Tool Suite (V. 2022.1). It enables transportation planners to calculate the return on investment (ROI) for transportation infrastructure resilience projects across a range of uncertain hazard scenarios.
The RDR Tool Suite is designed to help transportation agencies explore scenarios for transportation disruption and mitigation across a range of uncertain future hazards (e.g., floods, earthquakes) in the context of long-range transportation planning. It leverages standard travel demand modeling that is widely used by transportation agencies.
The tool allows agencies to incorporate the cost and benefits of resilience into the transportation planning decision-making process to make informed decisions on future infrastructure investments.
