With the rise of the resilience concept, scholars and practitioners have paid increasing
attention to resilient city, which has become a new means of coping with hazards. As the …

Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tipping point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

We review recent studies on transportation network performance under perturbations. Three
representative concepts relating to network performance are covered: reliability …

In this paper, an indicator of network resilience is defined that quantifies the ability of an
intermodal freight transport network to recover from disruptions due to natural or human …

Vulnerability in the road transportation system, studied not only from a safety point of view
but also as a problem of an insufficient level of service, is proposed as a setting for future …

Highway planning efforts, especially those involving capacity expansions, have traditionally
relied on the volume/capacity (V/C) ratio to identify “highly congested” or critical links …

Existing reliability studies of road networks are mainly limited to connectivity and travel time
reliability and may not be sufficient for a comprehensive network performance measure …

Empirical studies have suggested that travel time reliability plays an important role in
travelers' route choice behavior. This study develops an approach to relate the travel time …

This paper describes the development of a method for strategic assessment of vulnerability
in road networks. Our vulnerability analysis considers the socio-economic impacts of …

The domino-like cascading failures may deteriorate traffic network reliability for both system
and users. As the microscopic origin of this dynamic process, route choice behavior should …
