Climate change has become a global and environmental issue in the early 21st century. All natural, human, and transportation infrastructure systems are affected by the climate change. Several issues related to the climate change have been widely discussed, such as transportation planning, environmental protection, energy conservation and reduction of GHG (the emission of vehicular greenhouse gases) emission. Currently, the considerations of climate change are not fully incorporated within the transportation planning process in Taiwan. This paper proposes a conceptual framework of transportation planning process under climate change in Taiwan. The impact of precipitations on urban areas in an operational level is studied through a simulation-based model, DynaTAIWAN. The impact is measured in terms of average travel time, average travel distance, and average stopped time. Numerical experiments are conducted based on a sub-network of Kaohsiung City and different precipitation events are simulated.
