Abstract
AbstractThe stability of road networks has become an increasingly important issue in recent times, since the value of time has increased considerably and unexpected delay can results in substantial loss to road users. Road network reliability has now become an important performance measure for evaluating road networks, especially when considering changes in OD traffic demand and link flow capacity over time.This paper outlines the basic concepts, remaining problems and future directions of road network reliability analysis. There are two common definitions of road network reliability, namely, connectivity reliability and travel time reliability. As well, reliability analysis is generally undertaken in both normal and abnormal situations. In order to analyse the reliability of a road network, the reliability of the links within the network must be first determined. A method for estimating the reliability of links within road networks is also suggested in this paper.
