Abstract

The transportation network enables movement of people and goods and is the basis of economic activity. Recently, short-term locally heavy rains occur frequently in urban areas, causing serious obstacles to road flooding and increasing economic and social effects. Therefore, in advanced weather countries, many studies have been conducted on realistic and reliable impact forecasting by analyzing socioeconomic impacts, not just information transmission as weather forecasts. In this paper, we use the Spatial Runoff Assessment Tool (S-RAT) and Flood Inundation model (FLO-2D model) to calculate the flooding level in urban areas caused by rainfall and use the flooding rate. In addition, the rainfall–flood depth curve and the Flood–Vehicle Speed curve were presented during the analysis, and the traffic disruption map was prepared using this. The results of this study were compared with previous studies and verified by rainfall events in 2011. As a result of the verification, the result was similar to the actual flooding, and when the same rainfall occurred within the range of the target area, it was confirmed that there were sections that could not be passed and sections that could be passed smoothly. Therefore, the results suggested in this study will be helpful for the driver’s route selection by using the urban flood damage analysis and vehicle driving speed analysis.

Highlights

  • Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of rainfall worldwide [1,2], causing further domestic flood damage to urban areas following rapid urbanization and industrialization [3]

  • The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) emphasizes the need for forecasting impacts that take into account the socioeconomic impacts that may arise from meteorological phenomena [5] and recognizes that the Meteorological Agency needs to establish a system for an effective response to meteorological disasters [6]

  • The results showed that the XAJ model had a better performance than the sub-daily Soil and Water Assessment (SWAT) model regarding relative runoff error (RRE), but the SWAT model performed well, according to the relative peak discharge error (RPE) and error of occurrence time of peak flow (PTE)

Summary

Introduction

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of rainfall worldwide [1,2], causing further domestic flood damage to urban areas following rapid urbanization and industrialization [3]. The UK Flood Forecasting Center (FFC)-Flood Guidance Statement (FGS) assesses the risk for all flood types over five days, with the results provided daily [7] It found that the degradation of the transportation system caused by urban flooding is the most detrimental to society and is estimated to be about British Pound (GBP) 100 thousand per hour for each major road affected [8,9,10]. Model capable of cell unit analysis and has the advantage of precisely deriving the running time and runoff model capable of cell unit analysis and has the advantage of precisely deriving the running leakage because of itsbecause comprehensible interface. Meteorological the other hand, the FLO-2D is widely in various studies Korea [36,37,38,39]
