Dynamic vulnerability of urban road networks

道路运输网络对我们社会的经济和社会健康至关重要。表现不佳的网络导致了巨大的成本以及对环境和健康的不利影响。该项目将制定方法和工具，通过瓶颈(如事故、车辆故障、道路工程、车道堵塞和道路封闭)处的事故相关拥堵来预测网络故障的影响，并在形成瓶颈的情况下提出补救行动计划。与事故相关的拥堵占(每年94亿美元)的50%以上。澳大利亚主要城市的交通拥堵成本。

Road transport networks are vital to the economic and social health of our society. Poorly performing networks lead to significant costs and adverse environmental and health impacts. This project will develop methods and tools to predict the effects of network failure through incident-related congestion at bottlenecks (e.g. congestion from accidents, vehicle breakdowns, road works, lane blockages and road closures) and to suggest remedial action plans in the case of bottleneck formation. Incident related congestion is responsible for more than 50% of the ($9.4B p.a.) cost of congestion in Australia's major cities.
