A method for analyzing survivability of an infrastructure link includes determining an optimal path arrangement of the infrastructure link between two geographic locations; and determining a risk index associated with the determined optimal path arrangement based on one or more quantified cost factors and one or more quantified risk factors associated with the determined optimal path arrangement. The risk index represents a survivability of the infrastructure link.

System and method for analyzing survivability of an infrastructure link

A computer-implemented method and a related system for determining seismic hazard related data. The method includes processing geological/seismological data associated with an area of unknown hazard using a simulation model, and determining simulated ground motion intensity data associated with the area of unknown hazard. The simulation model is determined based on geological/seismological data associated with an area of known hazard and ground motion intensity data associated with the area of known hazard. Alternatively, or additionally, the method includes processing simulated ground motion intensity data associated with the area of unknown hazard with another simulation model. Such simulation model is determined at least partly based on: geological/seismological data associated with an area of unknown hazard, geological/seismological data associated with an area of known hazard, ground motion intensity data associated with the area of known hazard, and simulated ground motion intensity data associated with the area of known hazard.

Seismic hazard determination method and system

A computer-implemented method and system for determining a path arrangement of an infrastructure link. The method includes receiving one or more inputs each indicative of a constraint; and processing the one or more inputs and a set of data based on a path arrangement determination model. The set of data includes data representing one or more factors affecting the path arrangement. The method also includes determining, based on the processing, the path arrangement of the infrastructure link.

Infrastructure link path arrangement determination method and system

A method for determining an optimal path arrangement of an infrastructure link network, and a related system for performing the method. The method includes modelling a geographic terrain having a plurality of geographic locations to be connected with each other via an infrastructure link network; modelling each of a laying cost and a repair rate as a respective function affecting the optimal path arrangement of the infrastructure link network; applying a respective weighting to each of the functions to determine a minimized cost function; and determining, based on the determined minimized cost function, the optimal path arrangement connecting the plurality of geographical locations. The determined optimal path arrangement of the infrastructure link network includes a trunk-and-branch topology with a plurality of infrastructure links and one or more connection points connecting the infrastructure links.

A method for determining an optimal laying arrangement of a new infrastructure link for connection from a new site to an existing infrastructure network includes modeling a terrain of a region around and at the new site and the existing infrastructure network near the new site; modeling each factor affecting the laying arrangement as a respective cost function; applying a respective weighting to each of the cost function to determine a life-cycle cost function; and determining, based on the determined life-cycle cost function, an optimized laying arrangement with minimal life-cycle cost from the new site to a connection point in the existing infrastructure network.
