Project
leader and supervisor: Prof. Lars-Göran Mattsson
Assistant supervisor: Dr. Katja Vuorenmaa

Main researcher: Dr.. Erik Jenelius
The
reliability and vulnerability of the road infrastructure system has attracted
a lot of attention recently. Links in a road network can be closed because of
adverse weather, accidents and physical breakdowns and also as a result of
intentional damages, sabotage and terrorism. The aim of the project is to
develop the methodology for vulnerability analysis of road networks and to
illustrate its use for decision-making concerning investment and maintenance
measures.
Indicators of the importance of a link and of the exposure of a region from a
vulnerability perspective will be developed. A modeling tool will be
developed by which these indicators can be calculated. An interface will be
developed for the transference of data from other systems to this tool. A
GIS-based tool will be developed for visualizing the results. Specific
vulnerability analyses will be carried out for different road regions in
consultation with the Swedish Road Administration. These analyses will point
out certain links as particularly important for the functioning of the
network and certain municipalities as particularly exposed. The possibilities
for the inclusion of vulnerability analyses in operation and maintenance
planning and in investment planning will be studied.
