摘要：The reliance on roads to provide fluent mobilization has raised great concern when facing functional degradation. Disruption of the critical segments of a road network may significantly increase the distance traveled by a community. This paper proposes a method for measuring road network vulnerability when facing disruption by assessing all road segments within a network. The assessment is based on two of the shortest disjointed diversion routes from one end of the segment to the other, supporting the strategy of reaching equilibrium flow in an emergency condition. To generate diversion routes for the purpose of reconnecting a disrupted segment, the shortest path patterns are generated through the formation of adjacent polygons using GIS. Accordingly, this paper proposes a segment vulnerability index based on the support of diversion routes. Additionally, the model introduces supporting vulnerability, a parameter for measuring the potential of a road segment becoming a supporting diversion route when its surrounding segments are disrupted. By adopting the Malaysian Peninsular road network as a case study, the developed index can assist transportation agencies in planning and maintaining road assets while prioritizing vulnerable road segments relative to the entire road network.
