1 A Cloud-Based Flood Warning System For Forecasting Impacts to Transportation Infrastructure Systems Jon Goodall Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering Associate Director, Link Lab April 09, 2018
2 Research Motivation Predicting street scale flooding, especially for low relief terrains, is a challenge. For these regions, we need high resolution datasets and 2-D hydrodynamic models. Flood predictions are needed in near real-time in a form that aids decision makers. Chloe Riffle, 7, watches as she is surrounded by water on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016 in the Ocean View section of Norfolk, Virginia. 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 2
3 Need for an Automated, Accurate Flood Prediction System Request + + Post Rainfall Forecast Data Response Send Alerts Access Current Flooded Locations Information 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 3
4 Objectives Objective 1: Build a flood warning system based on modern cyberinfrastructure using an automated workflow for obtaining the real-time rainfall forecast data. Objective 2: Execute the model using cloud computing resources to identify the flooded roadways and bridges location in short-time duration for warning and emergency management purposes. Objective 3: Generate online inundation map with the location of the flooded roadways and bridges with the ability to send automated warning messages. 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 4
5 Study Areas VDOT s Hampton Roads District (Rural Area) Norfolk Area (Urban Area) 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 5
6 Modeling Work - VDOT s Hampton Roads District Hampton Roads district, Virginia which is 11x10 3 km 2 of combined watersheds This Study area includes about 500 VDOT bridges and culverts 11 subwatersheds that surround the study area are incorporated as boundary conditions 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 6
7 Regional River Severe Storm Model (R 2 S 2 ) R 2 S 2 is a diverse, multi-function digital platform that offers various applications to VDOT s Districts and Residencies, regional Emergency Services, and Environmental Agencies. VDOT Bridge Data USGS 10m DEM Terrain Data USGS Soil Maps USGS Land Use NOAA Point Rainfall Data NOAA NEXRAD Data Time Series Transformation WMS 9.0 GIS Data Terrain (Tin) Rivers & Streams Watersheds Sub-Watersheds and Terrain Data HEC-HMS Sub-Watersheds Rainfall Data Combined Watershed, Bridges, & Rainfall Distribution SMS 11.0 TUFLOW 2-D Hydrodynamic 10 Second Time Step Two Weeks Time Series 495 Bridges Sub-Watersheds Hydrographs Rainfall Data USGS Stream Gage Data Output Data Post Processing Equivalent to 495 HEC-RAS Unsteady Models Interactive Bridge Flooding Predictive Flooding Atlas 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 7

9 DEM Raster Enhancement Progress High resolution LiDAR data with resolution from 0.76m to 1.52m is available in most part of the study area. 0.76m X 0.76m 1m X 1m 1.52m X 1.52m 0.76m X 0.76m 10m X 10m LiDAR 1.52m X 1.52m Integrate 1m and 2m DEM 10m DEM 4/23/2018 University of Virginia 9

14 Observation Data Preparation USGS Stage Gage Data There are 10 USGS station located in the study. However, we believe more stations are necessary to better calibrating and verifying the model due to the complex and flat topographic.

15 Observation Data Preparation Observation Gridded Rainfall Data Preparation Three sources we explored to obtain the gridded rainfall data: TRMM data A code have been developed to pull and process the TRMM data for any given shapefile in the USA. HRRR archived data A code have been developed to pull and process the archived HRRR data from the University of Utah repository for any given shapefile in the USA. NEXRAD data However this is the best gridded rainfall data available but sometime the rainfall data was not recorded for critical storm events period. Also it is time consuming to order, download, and preprocess the data manual using NOAA Weather and Climate Tool (WCT). All the codes are available through the project Phase II GitHub repository.
