Impact Assessment of Urban Flood on Traffic Disruption using Rainfall–Depth–Vehicle Speed Relationship

Abstract

The transportation network enables movement of people and goods and is the basis of economic activity. Recently, short-term locally heavy rains occur frequently in urban areas, causing serious obstacles to road flooding and increasing economic and social effects. Therefore, in advanced weather countries, many studies have been conducted on realistic and reliable impact forecasting by analyzing socioeconomic impacts, not just information transmission as weather forecasts. In this paper, we use the Spatial Runoff Assessment Tool (S-RAT) and Flood Inundation model (FLO-2D model) to calculate the flooding level in urban areas caused by rainfall and use the flooding rate. In addition, the rainfall–flood depth curve and the Flood–Vehicle Speed curve were presented during the analysis, and the traffic disruption map was prepared using this. The results of this study were compared with previous studies and verified by rainfall events in 2011. As a result of the verification, the result was similar to the actual flooding, and when the same rainfall occurred within the range of the target area, it was confirmed that there were sections that could not be passed and sections that could be passed smoothly. Therefore, the results suggested in this study will be helpful for the driver’s route selection by using the urban flood damage analysis and vehicle driving speed analysis.

Identification and Analysis of Weather-Sensitive Roads Based on Smartphone Sensor Data: A Case Study in Jakarta

“…As can be seen in Table 1 , most of the literature studied traffic conditions in Western countries, such as the United States [ 13 , 33 ], France [ 12 ], Spain [ 7 ], Greece [ 25 , 26 ], Australia [ 31 ], and Sweden [ 34 ]. A few studies reported on the main metropolises in Asia, such as Hong Kong [ 8 ], Beijing [ 15 ], Shenzhen [ 16 ], and Seoul [ 17 ]. All of the mentioned works were conducted based on modern cities in developed countries.…”

“…However, measuring vehicle speed in an urban area might need different technologies, such as wireless sensor networks. Although some researchers also focused on traffic studies on urban roads, all of those works considered the developed countries’ road condition, such as in South Korea [ 17 ], Sweden [ 33 ], the United States [ 35 ], Athens, Greece [ 25 ], and Thessaloniki, Greece [ 26 ]. In summary, each work mentioned above shows various weather impact with different precipitation and characteristics.…”

However, in the literature, few studies have been reported for ities with poor or limited infrastructures, especially in developing countries.…”

The Complexity of Space Utilization and Environmental Pollution Control in the Main Corridor of Makassar City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

“…The decline in environmental quality in the Urip Sumoharjo-Perintis Kemerdekaan road corridor has resulted in physical damage to the environment, urban flooding, disease transmission, and climate change. Urban flooding is the most frequent type; it is a serious obstacle to road users and impacts economic and social conditions [100][101][102][103]. Environmental quality degradation in the Urip Sumoharjo-Perintis Kemerdekaan road corridor is shown in Figure 11.…”

Studying the Effects of Roads Geometry and Design Parameters on the Pavement Drainage System

“…The authors in Choo et al (2020) [9] stated that stormwater overflow from metropolitan advancement makes undesired effects surface waters which effect on roads and transportation operations, including release of toxins, disintegration, and loss of living space. A treatment train comprising of porous interlocking solid asphalt and underground stormwater reaping was observed to evaluate water quality enhancements.…”
