SCC-CIVIC-FA Track B UNUM: Unification for Underground Resilience Measures

气候变化、天气和事故等极端事件的重要性继续对基础设施产生重大影响。地下基础设施相互连接，并与地上基础设施相互连接。这些相互依存关系往往对电力、水、交通和通信产生连锁反应，造成极端的社会和经济影响。提高社区复原力取决于确定地下基础设施数据和数据共享。这种地下基础设施数据不容易知道、可用或可互操作。此外，它们通常受多个管辖。UNUM项目为具有不同数据安全要求的政府、行业、公用事业和社区团体之间的数据共享提供了一种协作机制。在纽约市内使用了两个试点区域，即中城东部（曼哈顿）和日落公园（布鲁克林），在地下条件、利益相关者以及人口和经济多样性方面形成对比。在第一阶段，通过由城市机构管理的数据存储库，从40多个利益相关者那里获得了参与数据共享的承诺，为第二阶段提供了基础。该第二阶段项目具有更广泛的影响，为地下基础设施的数据模型、数据需求、共享和安全协议提供了一个路线图和两个测试平台，可转移到其他领域，以提高其弹性。研究目标和范围以及方法和途径：UNUM第二阶段预计将开发一种方法来标准化地下基础设施和地质数据共享，以便所有地下公用事业信息可互操作：能够在一个公共底图上进行整合和分析。这将更好地使（1）识别危险和灾害脆弱性，（2）制定减少事故和紧急情况的战略，以及（3）在自然灾害和其他大规模威胁（如海平面上升和全球变暖）的情况下加强基础设施。根据UNUM第1阶段与公用事业建立的关系和协议，UNUM第2阶段将收集与供水和下水道网络（NYC DEP）、交通（MTA）、电力（Con Edison和国家电网）等相关的基础设施数据。地下公用事业数据将转换为通用格式，注册到NYC的摄影测量底图，并安全存储。这些数据将符合开放地理空间联盟目前正在进行高级开发的MPEG4数据模型，并将与地下基础设施ASCE 38和75工程质量和准确性标准密切相关。UNUM团队将与社区团体共同开发艺术和工程活动，以提高基于社区的基础设施素养。该项目是CIVIC创新挑战赛的一部分，该挑战赛由NSF、能源汽车技术办公室、国土安全部科学技术局和联邦应急管理局合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The importance of extreme events from climate change, weather, and accidents continue to have critical impacts on infrastructure. Underground infrastructures are interconnected within one another and with above ground infrastructure. These interdependencies often have cascading impacts on electric power, water, transportation and communication with extreme social and economic impacts. Increasing community resilience depends upon identifying underground infrastructure data and data sharing. Such underground infrastructure data are not readily known, available, or interoperable. Furthermore, they are typically under multiple jurisdictions. The UNUM project provides a collaborative mechanism for data sharing among government, industry, utilities, and community groups with different data security requirements. Two pilot areas are used within New York City, midtown East (Manhattan) and Sunset Park (Brooklyn), contrasting in the types of underground conditions, stakeholders, and demographic and economic diversity. In Stage 1, commitments to participate in data sharing were obtained from over 40 stakeholders through a data repository managed by a City agency that provide the foundation for Stage 2. This Stage 2 project has broader impacts in providing a roadmap and two testbeds for a data model, data needs, sharing, and security protocols for underground infrastructures transferable to other areas to improve their resilience.Goals and Scope of Research and Methods and Approaches: UNUM Phase 2 expects to develop a methodology to standardize underground infrastructure and geological data sharing so that all subsurface utility information is made interoperable: capable of being brought together on a common basemap for integration and analysis. This will better enable (1) to identify hazard and disaster vulnerabilities, (2) devise strategies to reduce accidents and emergencies, and (3) to harden infrastructure in case of natural disasters and other large-scale threats like sea level rise and global warming. Based on relationships and agreements with utilities established in UNUM Stage 1, UNUM Stage 2 will collect infrastructure data related to water and sewer networks (NYC DEP), transit (MTA), electric power (Con Edison and National Grid), etc. Subsurface utility data will be transformed into a common format, registered to NYC’s photogrammetric basemap, and securely stored. The data will conform to the MUDDI data model now in advanced development by the Open Geospatial Consortium, and will be closely related to underground infrastructure ASCE 38 and 75 standards for engineering quality and accuracy. The UNUM team will co-develop with community groups art and engineering activities to improve community-based infrastructure literacy. This project is part of the CIVIC Innovation Challenge which is a collaboration of NSF, Department of Energy Vehicle Technology Office, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and Federal Emergency Management Agency.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
