Maintaining smooth traffic during disaster evacuation is a lifesaving step. Traffic resilience is often used to define the ability of a roadway during disaster evacuation to withstand and recover its functionality from disturbances in terms of traffic flow caused by a disaster. However, a high level of variances due to system complexity and inherent uncertainty associated with disaster and evacuation risks poses great challenges in predicting traffic resilience during evacuation. To fill this gap, this study aimed to propose a new integrated data-driven predictive resilience framework that enables incorporating traffic uncertainty factors in determining road traffic conditions and predicting traffic performance using machine learning approaches and various space and time (spatiotemporal) data sources. This study employed an augmented Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based approach with correlated spatiotemporal traffic data to predict traffic conditions, then to map those conditions to traffic resilience levels: daily traffic, segment traffic, and overall route traffic. A case study of Hurricane Irma’s evacuation traffic was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The results indicated that the proposed method could effectively predict traffic conditions and thus help to determine traffic resilience. The data also confirmed that the traffic infrastructures along the US I-75 route remained resilient despite the disturbances during the disaster evacuation activities. The findings of this study suggest that the proposed framework is applicable to other disaster management scenarios to obtain more robust decisions for the emergency response during disaster evacuation.

This work presents a data-driven methodology for the identification and control of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC–DC converters, aimed at reducing the complexity associated with highly nonlinear analytical models. By exploiting an angle phase-shift representation instead of a detailed PWM-based model, the proposed approach simplifies both system excitation and identification while preserving the essential power-transfer dynamics of the converter. A frequency-domain control strategy is subsequently developed based on the identified model, enabling systematic loop-shaping and robust controller design. The resulting discrete-time controller achieves accurate reference tracking and stable regulation in simulation tests, demonstrating that the proposed pipeline provides an effective and practical alternative to conventional model-based control approaches for DAB systems Key words.
