Traffic management and drainage system are two vital issues for any metropolitan city. Like other big cities, Beirut is also facing problems due to lack of traffic management and poor drainage system.

The main objective of the innovation is to model the interdisciplinary issues of storm water and its effect on the traffic of Beirut.

The specific objectives are: (1) to calibrate and validate urban hydraulic and traffic micro-simulation models and (2) to model storm water and traffic for future conditions.

Due to poor management of drainage and traffic, a rainfall event becomes a tragedy. This often occurs when there is a poor planning of the region. This issue needs to be addressed accordingly, especially in the urban environment, since urbanized areas have to be the pivotal focus of planning development and management as mentioned in our innovation-based criteria.
