Transportation projects require significant investments of funds and resources. Costs include project scope and development, environmental review and mitigation, preliminary engineering, right-of-way utilities, final design, and public engagement. This webinar will present improved processes for setting and maintaining project development budgets through improvements in estimation, risk management, and tracking of project development costs.

During a disaster, the lack of interoperable, shareable, analysis-ready data managed by emergency organizations limits data sharing and the creation of common reference pictures in areas and populations. Collaborative strategic decisions are then limited since they are not based on commonly agreed vulnerability indicators. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) and geospatial technology applications can bridge these limitations by creating knowledge bases with geospatial context. This webinar will offer timely insights into transformational tools for emergency management through enhanced data interoperability and situational awareness.

Assessing critical infrastructure failures bolsters resilience against disruptive events, strengthens public safety, and maintains essential services vital for economic stability and societal functioning. This webinar will deepen the understanding of critical road infrastructure failures’ transportation and social implications, including human casualties, infrastructure damage costs, traffic operations, business disruptions, and community impacts.
