This paper proposes an overview of transport system vulnerability assessment models that allow identifying critical links for the development of future high quality transport management systems (TMS). The challenges of increasing congestion and negative environmental impacts, shifting trips from personal vehicles to other transport options is generally seen as one of the most important actions. In terms of resilience and business continuity, transport systems need to be efficient as well as robust, as their vulnerability may cause various negative impacts. The methodological approach is particularly useful for planning resilient response in the preparedness stage, prioritizing investment for mitigation and adaptation, and prioritizing the rehabilitation (access restoration) of the disrupted links in the response and recovery stages. Resilience accounts for not only the ability of the system to absorb externally induced changes, but also cost- effective and efficient, adaptive actions that can be taken to preserve or restore performance post- event. |
