About the Book

Recent high-profile disasters, like the Ladbrook Grove rail accidents in London, have highlighted the susceptibility of transport networks to severe dislocation from time to time. This is more than just an inconvenience, as the emergency services depend on the residual transport network to ferry in help and ferry out the wounded. Spurred on by the catastophic effects on the transport network of the Kobe earthquake, 17 January 1995, Yasunori Iida of Kyoto University, Japan, organized a small group of international experts to work on the topic of network reliability. The objective of the work is to provide tools necessary for designing more reliable transport networks. As part of the work, an international seminar was convened in July 1999. This book contains the edited contributions to the seminar. The issue addressed in the book is not the reliability of individual network components, like bridges or tunnels, which is of course an interesting topic in its own right, but rather the reliability of the large conurbation's are constantly subjected to disruptions due to accidents, road or rail works, adverse weather, building works, demonstrations, terrorist incidents etc. The book deals with crucial issues relating to the measurement of reliability, traveller decision-making udner uncertainty, the provision of information to travellers, and the design of transport networks.

Table of Contents:
Non-cooperative games and network reliability; network sensitivity approach to reliability assessment - computational aspects and results; travel time versus capacity reliability of a road network; calibration of traffic flow simulator for network reliability assessment; snowfall weather forecast and expresswaay network reliability analysis; road network with travel time and capacity reliabilities - a chance-constrained approach; travellers response to uncertainty; an empirical model of travellers' day-to-day learning in the presence of uncertain travel time; traffic assignment with stochastic flows; I11-predictability to congestion; traffic control and route choice - conditions for (in) stability; probabilistic routing and scheduling of urban pick-up/delivery truck with variable travel times; route choice to maximize the probability of arrival within a specified time; route finding model using EBA (eliminating by aspects) framework; dynamic information system and travel time reliability; an analysis on the improvement of total travel time reliability by parking management system; using network reliability concepts for traffic calming - permeability, approachability, tortuousity - in network design.
