• Abstract:
  A pilot application of the Network Robustness Index (NRI) for the Chittenden County Regional Transportation Model was conducted. Using the results, improvements to the method to increase its effectiveness for more widespread use will be made. The test described here consisted of a real-world application, coupled with a careful analysis of the results. The road network of the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) provided a suitable opportunity to test a real-world application of the NRI. The CCMPO represents the 18 municipalities of the Chittenden County, Vermont region. Serving about 145,000 people (approximately 25% of the state's population), the CCMPO is Vermont's only MPO.
