Transportation and Infrastructure

Transportation and infrastructure focus on moving people and goods from one place to another, and the apparatus for modern living. The vehicles involved, the roadways, waterways, and airways used, the methods of propulsion used, and how buildings fit into each environment are a few of the subjects studied.

We still do not fully understand how different elements of cities interact with one another. We can try to understand how cities are wired and how to improve them, so that they withstand future catastrophes.”

UC researchers build data network to minimize flooding impact

December 2, 2020

A team of University of Cincinnati researchers is working to predict how flooding will impact cities and how to mitigate the resulting economic and human suffering. With the backing of a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, UC associate professor of environmental engineering Lilit Yeghiazarian is leading phase two of the research project with a multidisciplinary team to create the Urban Flooding Open Knowledge Network. The network merges data that can provide reliable flood-related information to anyone who needs it.
