• Abstract:
  Urban traffic networks consisting of partially blocked roads often need to remain open to traffic before, during and after disasters because of their vital roles to hazard preparation, emergency response and recovery of urban communities. To conduct effective traffic planning of disrupted transportation networks highly depends on accurate prediction of travel time on partially blocked roads, which is very different from that on intact roads. A new approach to develop travel time functions for partially blocked roads in urban areas is proposed to close this gap based on microscopic traffic simulation. The proposed methodology of developing the travel time functions of partially blocked roads will be helpful for accurate estimation of traffic demand of post-hazard transportation networks.
