Abstract
Global climate change has rendered transportation systems vulnerable to extreme weather conditions. A thorough assessment of network resilience is crucial to maintain the smooth operation of the road network. This study develops a three-dimensional resilience evaluation model that accounts for the impact of capacity degradation and sheds light on the resilience of road networks. We investigate the degradation mechanism of road network performance in a rainfall environment. Specific rainstorm weather scenarios were generated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The road traffic network in the Chengdu metropolitan area was selected for validation and analysis. When meteorological conditions exceed the secondary intensity, the road network becomes more vulnerable to increased traffic flow. Betweenness and degree centrality are indicators of regional importance. Different recovery strategy priorities must be developed for different interference scenarios.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Letters: The International Journal of Transportation Research is a quarterly journal that publishes high-quality peer-reviewed and mini-review papers as well as technical notes and book reviews on the state-of-the-art in transportation research.
The focus of Transportation Letters is on analytical and empirical findings, methodological papers, and theoretical and conceptual insights across all areas of research. Review resource papers that merge descriptions of the state-of-the-art with innovative and new methodological, theoretical, and conceptual insights spanning all areas of transportation research are invited and of particular interest.
