Debris is the waste generated by a hazardous event such as a natural disaster or a terrorist attack. Debris operations are categorized into three phases: (i) Clearance which include operations performed during or right after a hazardous event with the goal of clearing the debris from major arteries to give access to critical facilities and to aid in emergency operations; (ii) Collection which include transporting the debris from the disaster area to collection sites; (iii) Disposal which include transporting the debris to the final disposal sites and choosing the disposal method (e.g., landfill, reduce, recycle, or reuse). The research objective of this award is to develop mathematical models that capture the important characteristics of the debris related operations in each stage along with methodologies for solving these mathematical models efficiently. The models will be enhanced by including considerations on fairness (given the public impact nature of the application) and robustness (given various types of uncertainty in these settings). The ultimate goal is the development of an integrated model that considers the interactions between the decision problems in all three phases simultaneously.The results of this research will facilitate the development of decision support tools for debris clearance operations during the planning, response, and short and long term recovery stages of a hazardous event. The decision support tools built will be used in tactical, operational and comprehensive policy evaluation phases by both local and federal emergency management agencies such as FEMA and USACE. These tools will aid in evaluating the impact of resource availability and prioritization decisions on the costs and service levels of debris operations and ultimately will result in faster and more cost effective debris management operation.

碎片是由危险事件（例如自然灾害或恐怖袭击）产生的废物。碎片操作分为三个阶段：（i）清除范围，其中包括在危险事件发生期间或在危险事件发生后进行的操作，目的是清除主要动脉的碎屑以提供关键设施并帮助紧急行动； （ii）收集，其中包括将碎屑从灾区运送到收集地点； （iii）处置，其中包括将碎屑运输到最终处置地点并选择处置方法（例如，垃圾填埋，减少，回收或重复使用）。该奖项的研究目标是开发数学模型，以捕获每个阶段中与碎片相关的操作的重要特征以及有效地解决这些数学模型的方法。通过包括对公平性的考虑（鉴于应用程序的公共影响性）和鲁棒性（在这些环境中给定各种类型的不确定性），将通过包括对公平性的考虑来增强模型。最终目标是开发一个综合模型，该模型同时考虑了所有三个阶段中的决策问题之间的相互作用。这项研究的结果将有助于开发危险事件的计划，响应，短期和长期恢复阶段的碎屑清除操作的决策支持工具。构建的决策支持工具将用于战术，运营和全面的政策评估阶段，例如FEMA和USACA和USACE等地方和联邦紧急管理机构。这些工具将有助于评估资源可用性和优先级决策对碎屑操作的成本和服务水平的影响，并最终导致更快，更具成本效益的碎屑管理操作。
