This study introduces a synthetic resilience indicator as a unified analytical tool to evaluate public transport resilience, assessing performance changes in bus networks against random disruptions. This methodology measures the cumulative impact of disruptions, considering the network's capacity for maintaining planned functionality (robustness and reliability) and recoverability (i.e., route diversity), factoring in network topology, passenger flow, and resource diversity. This paper analyzes the impact of disruptions at network and station levels by applying an index to six benchmark networks. Our findings reveal: (1) networks with high station connectivity maintain robustness and flow; (2) a clear link between flow reduction and alternate routes highlights route diversity's value; (3) interplay between topological and flow-related network attributes underlines the need for an aggregated analytical approach. The proposed index can be used as an optimization goal during route network design; informing operators regarding the impact of design choices on future network properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
