Resilience indicators for road networks: the role of robustness and rapidity

Abstract

With the increased complexity of urban systems, the need to protect the services of smart cities from disruptions by increasing their resilience to adverse events is more critical than ever before. The present paper aims at clarifying the meaning of system resilience by discussing its definitions and then accordingly proposes a set of resilience indicators for road networks. These indicators assess road networks ability to withstand adverse events without suffering a loss of function (robustness) and recover quickly (rapidity). Ultimately, both the conceptual discussion and the indicators presented could be of interest to researchers and practitioners developing their own resilience models and tools.
