Approximate Transportation Network Reliability Measures for Solving Transportation Network Improvement Problem
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Poorzahedy, Hossain (Supervisor)
Abstract
Long-term effects of natural disasters, like earthquakes, in many cases have been reported high on transportation networks. Disruption in this lifeline network's performance imposes high social and economic costs upon the society. Undoubtedly, retrofitting the structures of all network links (or constructing new links) are practically impossible and economically infeasible. One solution to this problem is finding a method for determining the network's important links, and retrofitting their structures. Based on this concept, an optimization problem of network performance improvement under these stochastic events is introduced. In this problem, a link importance index for network links is...
