Optimizing Investment for Recovery in Interdependent Infrastructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliable operation of complicated interdependent infrastructures, (including transportation, electric power, oil, gas, telecommunications and emergency services) is vital to developed economies. This paper develops a method to estimate the “time to recover” from a disruption in such interdependent infrastructures. It also develops a mathematical model and solution procedure to optimize investments in interconnected infrastructures to achieve improvements in “time to recover” subject to a budget constraint. These methods are illustrated on an example gas-electric infrastructure network.

Optimizing designs and operations of a single network or multiple interdependent infrastructures under stochastic arc disruption
In this paper, we consider an infrastructure as a network with supply, transshipment, and demand nodes. A subset of potential arcs can be constructed between node pairs for conveying service flows. The paper studies two optimization models under stochastic arc disruption. Model 1 focuses on a single network with small-scale failures, and repairs arcs for quick service restoration. Model 2 consi...
متن کاملSubsidies in Interdependent Security with Heterogeneous Discount Rates
Optimizing resource allocation in interdependent security problems is a serious challenge for homeland security. In this article, we present the equilibrium strategies for multiple interdependent defenders in a model where threats occur over time. We show that the existence of myopic agents can make it undesirable for non-myopic agents to invest in security when it would otherwise be in their i...
متن کاملNeed for Resilience in Critical Interdependent Infrastructures
Defining Resilience Resilience has emerged in the last decade as a concept for better understanding the performance of infrastructures, especially their behaviour during and after the occurrence of disturbances, e.g. natural hazards or technical failures. Recently, resilience has grown as a proactive approach to enhance the ability of infrastructures to prevent damage before disturbance events,...

متن کاملInterdependent Network Restoration: Modeling Restoration Interdependencies and Evaluating the Value of Information-Sharing
We consider restoring multiple interdependent infrastructure networks after a disaster damages components in them and disrupts the services provided by them. Our particular focus is on interdependent infrastructure restoration where both the operations and the restoration of the infrastructures are linked across systems. We provide new mathematical formulations of restoration interdependencies ...
