| Summary: | Traffic network resilience refers to the ability of a traffic network to maintain a certain capacity and service level even when disturbed by external factors, as well as its capacity to recover following a disruptive event. This paper integrates traffic simulation with resilience analysis of urban road traffic networks and proposes a framework for identifying critical roads in urban road traffic networks from a resilience perspective. This framework is both theoretical and applicable to any unanticipated disruptive event. By incorporating four attribute indicators—traffic, topology, urban function, and socio-economic factors—the framework assesses the importance ranking of each road segment in an urban road traffic network both before and after an unanticipated disruptive event. A case study is conducted using a real urban road traffic network in Shanghai. From the perspective of policymakers, corresponding policy recommendations are made to enhance the resilience of urban road traffic networks against unanticipated disruptive events and to mitigate socio-economic losses. |
