  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to assess the flow distribution based on the traffic criterion. In the mathematical model, the resilience and stability criteria are developed based on the concepts of control engineering and optimal control. The results show that the route stability is dependent on the traffic parameter. Then, considering several factors including stability, safety, resilience, risk-averse investment, the environment and noise, a decision-making model is presented to evaluate the performance of the flow distribution routes during crises. Goal programming and data-oriented modelling are used to solve the mathematical model. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used as the data-oriented model to evaluate the performance of scenarios under uncertainty. Furthermore, a decision-making methodology is proposed for ranking the routes. The results show that increasing beta can lead to lower desirability of a route. Finally, a managerial analysis is presented based on efficiency, risk, and PEST measures. Copyright © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd
