This $165,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program supports the development of a novel adaptive data collection framework for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The project at Arizona State University's Orspa division will create a Bayesian-based system that analyzes recent observations to dynamically update the trajectories of data collector agents toward areas with the greatest potential for information gain. This will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $499,929 to New York University aims to enhance disaster preparedness and response strategies through research on computational methods for forecasting the socio-economic impacts of disasters. The project will leverage advances in language models to analyze the universality and heterogeneity of post-disaster mobility behavior from over 150 disaster events. The results will contribute to developing a...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,402 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. This collaborative research project develops a novel adaptive data collection framework to enable reliable data collection under severe time and resource constraints for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The system leverages a Bayesian probabilistic modeling approach to dynamically determine data collector agent trajectories to maximize information gain in the aftermath of a disaster. The outcomes of this project aim to improve the resilience of built environments and citizens in hazard-prone regions. Educational and outreach efforts are also planned to broadly disseminate the research findings.
