Using and Improving the CLARC Database for Interdependent Infrastructure Modeling and Simulation
Publication: Journal of Infrastructure Systems
Volume 28, Issue 3
Abstract
The CustomizabLe ARtificial Community (CLARC) database represents a region-sized database for modeling and simulation of interdependent infrastructure systems. Close examination of the data revealed inconsistencies that are corrected for use of the database in its present form. Additionally, two underlying concerns are identified in the telecommunications and transportation infrastructure systems. Suggested improvements to these infrastructure systems are explained.

Data Availability Statement
The corrected CLARC Microsoft Access database file is available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. This corrected dataset does not include all corresponding changes the geospatial data tables in the CLARC database (e.g., a duplicate arc removed in the asset data tables was not removed from the geospatial data tables, since it was not used in the target analysis).
