Methodology for assessing the vulnerability of multimodal transport networks and developing remedial measures to safeguard network performance

当运输网络失灵时，对人民和经济的影响可能是毁灭性的。1975年塔斯曼大桥倒塌对霍巴特造成的后果就是一个很好的例子。故障也可能由极端天气和自然灾害、交通拥堵和事故、商业故障、人为错误或恶意（如破坏）造成。该项目将制定一种方法，用于审计运输网络，以确定基础设施故障将对人员和货物流动产生最严重后果的地方。这项研究将为规划人员提供工具，以确定关键的网络位置，并制定战略和补救措施，以保障网络的性能。

When transport networks fail, the effects on people and the economy can be devastating. The consequences for Hobart of the 1975 Tasman Bridge collapse provide a prime example. Failure may also result from extreme weather and natural disasters, traffic congestion and incidents, commercial failure, human error, or malevolence (such as sabotage). This project will develop a methodology for auditing a transport network to identify where infrastructure failure will have the worst consequences for movement of people and goods. The research will provide tools for planners to determine critical network locations, and devise strategies and remedial measures to safeguard network performance.
