Postearthquake Recovery of a Water Distribution System: Discrete Event Simulation Using Colored Petri Nets

Empirical Data and Regression Analysis for Estimation of Infrastructure Resilience with Application to Electric Power Outages

“…Models that simulate the failure and restoration of complex systems can use these estimates to generate realistic scenarios (Luna et al 2011). Understanding and predicting the rate of recovery of disabled or inoperable infrastructure and economic sectors can help decision makers examine the tradeoffs between the cost of protection and the consequences of different disruptions (Tsang et al 2002).…”

Probabilistic Quantification of Community Resilience Using Discrete Event Simulation

“…Cagnan and Davidson [25] utilized this method to simulate the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems. Moreover, Luna et al [26] applied discrete event simulation to model the post-earthquake recovery of water distribution system. Huling and Miles [27] employed SimPy to simulate the disaster recovery of buildings.…”

Mitigating shortage and distribution costs in damaged water networks

“…A detailed case study of the 1994 Northridge, CA earthquake is used to illustrate the model's ability to estimate system restoration time. Luna et al [23] use colored Petri nets and discrete event simulation to model and study water system restoration. The methods are illustrated on the trunk network of the Tokyo water distribution system.…”

“…The first MIP (Phase-I MIP) computes an optimal solution to the linearized model in which we use T 1 linear pieces for equations (22) and (23), and T 2 linear pieces for equations (27) and (28) where T 1 and T 2 are relatively small. Keeping T 1 and T 2 small results in a small MIP that can be easily solved using commercial solvers such as CPLEX.…”

“…The methods presented here are new additions to the field of disaster operations planning and are among the first to quantitatively address the interaction between two types of infrastructure: water distribution and transportation. Indeed, the work lies at the interface of emergency water system repair and distribution [23,25,27,30], post-disaster traffic management [18,38], and disaster relief planning [4,26,33].…”
