Overview
Background & policy context:
The project aims to develop an advanced analysis framework for the vulnerability of a transport network by introducing the dependent probabilities of link failures, defining an innovative framework for analysing cases when normal activities are not maintained through the K-terminal reliability and maximum-flow concepts and to develop a practical algorithm based on standard traffic assignment models to analyse these issues.
All the methods developed will be tested to validate the analysis and demonstrate the practicality of the algorithms.
Objectives:
The objectives of this research are to develop methods to evaluate the vulnerability of a transport network and to develop a dynamic supply model to aid the analysis of travel time variability.
