Beyond Traffic Performance: Assessing Transport Network Resilience Through Access and Equity

Abstract: Weather disruptions endanger transport network operations and accessibility, hindering people’s ability to reach opportunities and services. While most research focuses on infrastructure impacts, little has examined how different socioeconomic groups experience such disruptions. This paper introduces a comprehensive method to assess transport resilience to extreme weather and includes a case study that highlights social disparities in accessing healthcare services. The case study reveals that access to essential city services varies by income level and that extreme weather events can exacerbate these inequalities.
