Progress and Analysis of Resilience Assessment for Complex Urban Road Networks

Abstract

Resilience assessment of complex urban road networks examines whether an urban road system can maintain its main functions when disruptions occur, support basic movement after damage, and recover to a stable condition within a reasonable time. Based on recent studies, this paper groups existing assessment methods into two technical routes. The first route focuses on topology based assessment. It represents roads as nodes and links, then uses network indicators to identify critical intersections, important road sections, and weak parts of the system. This route is clear and useful for early screening. The second route focuses on traffic function and dynamic process assessment. It pays more attention to real traffic operation, including congestion spread, performance loss, travel delay, accessibility change, and recovery time. This route is closer to practical road conditions, although it often requires richer data and stronger modelling support. The analysis shows that the two routes explain different parts of resilience. A more complete assessment framework should connect structural features, traffic performance, disruption processes, and recovery strategies.

Non-linear failure patterns in urban road networks exposed to flooding

Urban road networks are highly sensitive to flooding, yet the systemic consequences of inundation on their structural and functional organization remain insufficiently understood. This study introduces a scale-independent analytical framework that integrates complex network measures such as degree, closeness, and betwe...

Mapping urban resilience: Systematic insights into morphological parameters critical for effective evacuation and disaster response

Urban morphology significantly influences crowd movement and evacuation in public spaces by influencing route efficiency, access to safe zones, and emergency responses. Morphological indicators such as network configuration, building density, and spatial patterns affect evacuation success and urban resilience, though t...

Assessing the Impact of Urban Boulevard Widening on Emergency Vehicle Mobility and Response Efficiency

Improving emergency vehicle mobility in congested urban environments is a critical challenge for transportation systems. Although roadway capacity expansions, such as widening roads, are often deployed to reduce congestion, their impact on emergency response performance is not always guaranteed, especially when delays...
