Robustness analysis of road networks: a framework with combined DTA models

Network robustness is the ability of a road network functioning properly facing unpredictable and exceptional incidents. A systematical framework with combined dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models is designed for the analysis of road network robustness. With this framework, network performance considering travelers' (route) choice behavior under both normal traffic condition and incident condition can be properly described. So the robustness of road networks against incidents can be analyzed comprehensively. Based on such knowledge, road networks robustness can be improved from the planning stage or with suitable measures.
