Abstract
Due to the influence of global climate anomalies, abnormal weather conditions such as heavy rainfall have become more frequent in recent years, posing a significant threat to the operation of transportation systems. An effective assessment of the resilience of the transportation system before and during heavy rain can alert the transportation department to take necessary emergency actions. However, existing methods for assessing the rainfall resilience of transportation networks mostly suffer from the following problems: (1) Simulation methods for modeling rainfall impacts lack realism; (2) After-the-fact evaluations of resilience cannot offer advance warning prior to or during a heavy rain event. To address above problems, we present a novel resilience assessment methodology for evaluating the resilience of road networks in real-time during heavy rainfall scenarios. In this methodology, we propose the temporal decomposition-based dynamic multi-granularity graph neural network (TD2MG2NN) for long-term traffic speed forecasting, providing a perspective on the future evolution of traffic states for accurate resilience assessment. In addition, we construct a composite traffic resilience indicator, designed to comprehensively reflect changes in the spatial–temporal resilience of the transportation system during heavy rain. Experimental results on four publicly real datasets indicate that the prediction performance of TD2MG2NN outperforms state-of-the-art models. The assessment results for the transportation road network in California demonstrate that the comprehensive resilience indicator is superior to single functional resilience indicator and the real-time methodology for evaluating resilience can accurately depict and predict the operation of the road network system under heavy rainfall scenarios.
