Abstract
Flood disaster in the urban area can have an impact on the transport of people, goods, and animals. It will certainly result in the disruption of public transportation activities because the road and utilities are probably cannot be passed by vehicles. The objective of the research is to contribute to the analytical basis related to urban public transport services resilience evaluation during the flood. The simulation model is based on the assumption that the primary objective of an urban public transport service during a flood disaster is to continue serving passengers on a predefined service corridor. An example of the application and analysis of this simulation model, simulated for three floods condition, i.e. the first is a high flood prediction that may occur in Padang city (based on The Padang City Development Planning document) and two floods that hit in the year 2016 and 2017. These simulations showed that urban public transport service in Padang city is relatively vulnerable to flood disaster. Lesson learned here have implication for urban public transport services. An interesting outcome of this simulation model has obtained the deviation of urban public transport service route during the flood. There are many parameters that affect the resilience of urban public transport services in the face of floods, and these parameters could be a topic for future research
Highlights
One of the most frequent occurrences of disasters in urban areas is flood inundation, they can have an impact on the movement of people, goods, and animals
This study has reviewed a concept in evaluating of the resilience of urban public transport service during the flood disaster
The analysis is based on the assumption that the primary objective of public transport operation is to minimize route deviation during the flood disaster
Summary
One of the most frequent occurrences of disasters in urban areas is flood inundation, they can have an impact on the movement of people, goods, and animals. The public transport service is simulated by a number of alternate routes of public transport services, the constraint that the alternative route is the closest to the established route. The method in this analysis is mainly simulationoriented, using flood scenarios based on existing flood data and based on official documents of predicted flood maps in a city. The concept in evaluating of service resilience of urban public transport that is adopted in this research is; how a public transport service can still serve passengers on its service corridor during the flood. When the condition of flood inundation cannot be passed by public transport vehicles, the vehicle will avoid flood areas by selecting the nearest path that can still be passed around the flood area and back to the existing route (route deviation concept)
