Editorial special section on robustness and resilience of transport networks

Abstract

This special section on “Robustness and Resilience of Transport Networks” was put together to widen the knowledge on improving the robustness and resilience of transport systems. Developing models and algorithms to deal with disruptions and uncertainties is at the core of moving towards this direction. Therefore, we aimed to receive papers in different domains of transportation that contribute to decisionmaking under uncertainties and disruptions. After a rigorous review process, five scientific papers have been selected to be published in this special section. Those cover both freight transportation and passenger transportation spanning different modes: railways, road transportation, and maritime transportation as well as indications of potential methodologies in air transportation.
