The book reviews the range of existing approaches to network vulnerability and identifies the application of each approach, illustrating them with case studies from around the world.
The book covers the dimensions of time (hours, days, weeks, months and years), spatial coverage (national networks, regional areas, metropolitan and urbanized areas) and modes (road, urban public transport and national railway systems). It shows how the provided framework can be used to indicate the most suitable accessibility tools and metrics for a particular application. Vulnerability Analysis for Transportation Networks is for academics and researchers in transportation networks and for practicing professionals involved in the planning and management of transportation networks and services.
- Presents the most current, complete and integrated account of transport network vulnerability analysis
- Includes numerous case studies from around the world
- Compares alternative approaches to vulnerability analysis for multiple modes and the applicability of each
- Shows how academic transport network planning and management research development can be applied to actual practice, with special focus on socio-economic and environmental impacts
Academic researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in transportation planning, management, operations, networks, systems, and infrastructures
