A highly reliable road network provides sure and stable traffic service by offering drivers alternative routes even when some part of the network is damaged in a disaster. The closure of San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge caused by 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake brought heavy functional damage on San Francisco Bay Area road network. For the purpose of road construction and traffic management for a highly reliable road network, the identification of effects of disaster is substantial. However, no opportunity of disaster analysis from the point of traffic view has been carried out in Japan due to the lack of basis data. This paper presents the analysis of functional effects of road network based on San Francisco Bay area traffic data. Functional effects of road network capacity, average travel time and terminal reliability are identified before and after the earthquake, including the evaluation of transportation share effects with BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and of the additional HOV (High-Occupancy-Vehicle) lanes effects.
