Abstract
The growing interconnectivity of transportation infrastructures amplifies system interdependencies and significantly influences system resilience during disruptive events. While these dependencies can offer backup routes and ensure service continuity, they also heighten the risk of widespread disruptions following a single failure. This paper provides a thorough examination of the literature on interdependency and resilience in transportation systems. The discussion begins with an exploration of the forms of interdependency in both single-modal and multi-modal transportation systems, delving into their definitions and the methodologies employed for their modeling. Subsequently, the paper analyzes the dual-edged impact of interdependency on transportation resilience, considering both its potential to enhance robustness and its propensity to exacerbate the consequences of disruptions. The review concludes with an assessment of the current limitations in understanding and addressing these issues, proposing future research directions aimed at developing more resilient transportation systems.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
